Metronidazole (Flagyl) is a known causer of PN.
Mrs. D, I have been using Metrogel and I'm guessing the main ingredient is Metronidazole, but I only use a small amount on my face at night. I would be amazed if that little bit could cause it to flare off the charts. Would it be a cumulative effect?

By the way, I'm so glad you're here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
