nwr -roseaca anyone??

I went to the dermatologist yesterday and she told me i have a slight case of roseaca (sp?)
I have very fair skin and i noticed some blood vessels on my face. She told me not to stress just to avoid things that would make me flush, like alcohal, sun, etc...

I of course go online and start reading and get alll stressed out, because there is no cure!!!

Does anyone have it or know anything about it???

You can not tell by looking at me, I just noticed a change in my skin. I have psoriasis on my elbows, but never anything on my face!!!!

Re: nwr -roseaca anyone??

don't worry. rosacea is pretty common and can be controlled. it's a light case so it's just a matter of being careful like your doctor said.

Re: nwr -roseaca anyone??

Yes, I have it too!

I use 2 different creams, 1 in the morning and 1 at night. I also wash my face with cetaphil.

Usually you can't even notice that I have it but sometimes I get red like you had mentioned. That get's annoying!

But, don't worry.
I definitely recommend cetaphil and I changed my make-up to almay, since it is hypo-allergenic.

Any other questions, let me know!

I have it. the best thing to do is aviod spicy foods and caffine and alchol, at least thats what my dermatologist told me. I also wah my face with cetaphil. I was also concerned and worried when the doctor told me. I have it for over 6 years.
