I’ve tried everything from being on birth control to wearing no makeup to putting that nasty NuOx on my face. And still blackheads abound on my nose and chin. The red spots have cleared up somewhat but the blackheads are just gross. Rosacea runs in my family and I’m trying if at all possible to prevent it from happening. Any tips?

Thanks!

OK my dog and i were playing and he got carried away and scratched my face. I have put hydrogen peroxide and neosporin on it. I have laser therapy tomorrow on my face (i have acne rosacea) will this affect the therapy?

what can i do to help stop it from scarring?!

thanks

My face always has a red flush to it, and it’s not rosacea.
They’re broken capillaries, but they’re always there.
I know green cover will make them look like they’re not there, but how can I actually get rid of them?
I can’t do the laser removal, and I would prefer something I could make/do on my own.
Does ice help?
Or is ice just temporary?

I went about a month ago to the dermatologist to see what she could do about my acne. I have mild acne/rosacea on my forhead and cheeks. Its ugly bulgy and some look like craters. She gave me an anti-biodic called Nicomide which is to be taken twice a day. And she also gave me a gel topic cream called Finacea which I also put on twice a day on my face. I saw almost no improvement in this month that I have been doing this. I plan to go back to the dermatologist this week. I need help in what do I say to her. What if she gives me some other cream crap that doesn’t do shit. Or should I ask about the laser treatments. I need help, Please.

Has anyone experienced this from birth control pills?

Hi there – i have had rosacea around the edges of my nose since i was about 3 or 4 so i have never known what it was like to have clear skin and im sure you know how mean kids in school can be. My mum never really looked into it for some reason so i went without treatment for years until i complained about the bullying – then i went to the doc’s for some topical cream that didn’t work so i just sort of shrugged it off and ignored it till now in high-school.. i am 16 and have chronic blackheads all over my Tzone also where my rosacea is so i can’t treat the blackheads yet because the blackhead treatment makes my rosacea flare up and spread so i need to know if i should treat the rosacea first or the blackheads first? but i don’t think rosacea ever actually goes away especially considering that mine has been there for my whole life.. maybe its just part of how i am

for the rosacea i have tried – not drinking milk or eating cheese/dairy products -prescriptionn doxycycline pills – primrose oil -chamomilee – a wide variety of different recommended vitaminin supplements – and a countless number of different creams and herbal lotions –

for the blackheads i have tried – a wide variaty of cleansing scrubs – followed by benzoyl peroxide gel 5% moved up to 10%(still using not sure if i should because of the rosacea) – biore max strengh pore strips – steaming my face – teatree oil – proactive solution

also can i get laser treatment for my rosacea even if i have blackheads?

Ok, this is a bit long but it will only takes about 5 minutes of your time, I really need help on this problem, thank you!

I recently have this eczema pimple lookalike, pinkish-red kind of itchy rash on my right cheek

Image: http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/6934/rashhy6.jpg

I really don’t want to use back hydrocortisone or any other steroid creams anymore, because all these prescription creams has worsen the condition, causing my face sensitive to the sun as well. It’s like, when I stop using it, the problem comes back again 3 weeks later, and the problem comes back even greater. I’ve been prescribed non-steroid cream as well, Elidel and Protopic. Protopic burned my skin, and Elidel gave me cough (it’s proven it gives internal side effect).

I’ve had bad experience with moisturizer cream that contains Petroleum, Mineral Oil, and Paraffin because all these ingredients actually form an oily film that sits on top of the skin, preventing moisture from evaporating. It has a drying effect, it actually suck out the moisture of your lips/skin, which is why you have to constantly reapplying it.

I’ve just change my cleanser from "Cetaphil Gentle cleanser" to "California Baby Shampoo & Bodywash, Super Sensitive (can be used on face)". Because RECENTLY I did a research about this harmful chemical ingredient called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), it’s actually cheap detergent that people used in car washes, as garage floor cleaners, and engine degreasers etc. After the research I looked at the back of the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and DANG, it has SLS and another harmful ingredient called "Propylene Glycol". For Christ sake I’ve been using it for 4 years.

By the way, I’ve spent a fortune for this problem and been to many dermatologists and ended up transferred to a senior skin specialist dermatologist, one of the best in my area but still pretty useless. And there was one time in 2006 I put on a full makeup, the brand was Clique. It was the first time and also the final time I applied makeup because after washing off I realised my face was peeling already. Then later that year I did a skin patch test and turned out that I’m allergic to a fragrance called "Lyral". It’s is a fragrance that is present in many cosmetic products. I’ve not been putting any cosmetic to my face ever since that incident. Then this year I took IgE blood test and Food Allergy Test. My IgE stated 73 IU/ML and I asked the laboratory person what does it mean and he said that any number that’s under than 87 is normal.

The food in the test are Hazelnut, Lobster, Sacharomyes Cerevisiale, Shellfish Mix, Squid, Chicken, Codfish, Corn, Crab, Egg White, Milk, Peanut, Potato, Rice, Shrimp, Soyabean, and Wheat.

The food allergy test on the print-out all stated class 0, which means I’m not allergic to any of those.

I did a fungal test before but it turned out negative, which means I don’t have it. I’ve asked the dermatologist if mine was rosacea and he said no. I also once suspect this might be perioral dermatitis so I asked if I could take antibiotic but the dermatologist refused to give it to me and said that my type of eczema is called Atopic Eczema.

He told me that if I’m so paranoid to use back steroid cream, just keep moisturizing. I asked him if by moisturizing alone would it clear off the rash and he couldn’t give me a confident answer, he just replied, "it will improve the condition" -_-

He gave me this moisturizer called "Physiogel Al Cream", these are ingredients,

Aqua, Olea, Europaea, Glycerin, Pentylene, Glycol, Palm Glycerides, Olus, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Squalane, Betaine, Palmitamide MEA, Acetamide MEA, Sarcosine, Hydroxyethyl-cellulose, Sodium Carbomer, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum

After trying out two times I still find it quite greasy even though there isn’t any petroleum or mineral oil.

So now I’m looking for an alternative way to deal with this problem because I really don’t want to use back the stupid steroid cream or those moisturizer that comes with crappy ingredients.

Also, I was reading this CB Calendula Cream review over here,

http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=54802&catid=26109&crpg=5&tab=1#1

The product was rated 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 44 users. 90% of them commented that the cream cleared off rash problems like cradle crap, eczema rash on face etc. Even some adults commented that they have facial eczema rash, perioral dermatitis, dry skin etc used this product and has worked wonders in healing their skin.

So I’ve been using the CB Super Sensitive wash for my face, and have applied the the CB Calendula Cream on my face for the fourth time. It somehow stop the itch a bit, but I am wondering how long it will take to clear off the rash.

So has anyone of you tried using California Baby Calendua cream with success?

Also, can moisturizing alone clear off the eczema facial rash? Or am I doomed to use back steroid?

Omg

P.S.

I’ve been on this "detox diet" for close to 6 weeks already, I’ve stop eating meat and poultry. I only take one meal a day which consist 1 plate of brown rice, and 3 serves of spinach and broccoli, 2 bananas and 2 apples. I’d take fish at most twice a week though. I’ve also been drinking only water, 12 glasses a day. I used to sh*t twice a week but ever since I started out this "detox diet" I’ve been sh*tting everyday. Yes, it does help to clean my bowel and liver but I still don’t understand why recently I get this sudden rash appearing on my right cheek.

I’ve had rosacea for 11 years. I have been given every pill and topical cream that the dermatologist knew of and was put on each for an extended period with no improvement. I have also tried for extended periods:

the Mary Kay Cleanser
tea tree oil
Eucerin redness reduction
H2O2
prosacea
triderma redness relief (I still use that as a moisturizer every morning)
I use mineral makeup
I know all the triggers (sun, alcohol, spicy, etc)
I drink a lot of water

I am German and have sensitive skin. Since in the US a natural blonde with fair skin only makes up 2% of the population, I think that is why the normal remedies aren’t working.

I care more about the broken capillaries and rough skin than the redness. Thanks for any help
The derm said it’s adult acne rosacea. I have pimples once in a while that of course go away in a few days, the redness, broken capillaries, and the bumps that are rough to the touch and start to bleed if they do get touched. Sorry for not clarifying.

I had a bout of mild, but annoying, rosacea on my cheekbone area, mostly the right one, this summer and the veins seem to have burst, tiny ones, maybe 3 or 4 in a small are about the size of a nickel, I called and asked what can be done, she said it would cost a vein and might can be done in one session. has anyone had this done? is it painful?? effective?
what are the side effects? sorry for so many questions, I have an appt the 27th. I hate them, my face is other wise clear..thanks! oh, my skin is sensitive..

Ok, this is a bit long but it will only takes about 5 minutes of your time, I really need help on this problem, thank you!

I have tried prescriptions and my Derm. told me only thing effective was laser (IPL). 00 later, I am on my last (6th) treatment and the flushing/redness still exists. I have always had pink skin, just gotten worse now I’m 38. I am fair skin, have occasional pimples, its the redness that bothers me. I use sunscreen and stay out of the sun. Please help.
I used Metrogel (did nothing) for a few months before my Derm recommended IPL. IPL is Intense Pulse Light. It’s a laser. The lady who is performing my treatments told me “everyones progress reacts different to the laser.” She thought (based on her 9 years exp, and prob the fact I don’t have severe rosacea) it would only take 4-5 treatments. But I’ve had 5 and I don’t notice any difference in the flushing. I had a few small broken capillaries, and the laser did help that. But my concern is the redness.

This has never happened before and started about 2 weeks ago.
I’m 19.
I have researched rosacea and don’t have matching symptoms.
The red blotches aren’t scaly or anything, just red. Well, pink.
I was thinking it could be change of environment since I was in North America for a year before this, but I’m on vacation in the Middle East. But it never happened while I was here before, and in the month I’ve been here it’s only happened sporadically, maybe 6 or 7 times.

Okay, yeah I pretty much think I know that I don’t have rosacea, please don’t tell me I am worrying about nothing. I am looking into cosmetic surgery(maybe laser involved). But I know very little on the subject please help. So it is only on my cheeks, and sometimes its a lot worse sometimes its hardly there. But I’ve have trouble scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist and I would like quick reference.
Thanks!

Ok, this is a bit long but it will only takes about 5 minutes of your time, I really need help on this problem, thank you!

Please only answer if you have used ZenMed for rosacea.
I’m eighteen and have moderate rosacea. My face is constantly red and swollen, and I have tons of tiny bumps all over my cheeks. I’ve seen a dermatologist and was prescribed an oral steroid and Metrogel. Not only did they not help my rosacea, but they made it even worse. I’ve tried Eucerin Redness Relief and have been using the daily perfecting lotion for over a year now, and it does help sooth my skin when it’s burning, but it doesn’t do anything for the redness at all. It also makes my face very oily. I feel so desperate to find a solution, and I can’t afford to pay for IPL. I’m also a little afraid the laser surgery may make my skin worse. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you have ever used ZenMed, for rosacea, not acne. I’m thinking about trying it out.
Thanks so much.
Some people on here really do suck. Thanks for getting my hopes up. I wasn’t expecting to get many responses, but I was so excited when I saw that someone actually had. I thought maybe I would finally get some sort of help or advice from someone who has to live with the same condition I have, a very frustrating and emotionally disturbing skin disease. Thanks again. Really. You’ve made my day.

If anyone really does have a real answer to my question, rather than just leaving a simple, "No," I honestly do appreciate it.

Has anybody used this for rosacea or sun spots? Does it work well? I also heard you can use this for stretch marks too. Anyone with first-hand knowledge of all this? Thanks.
