what do I have?

[tallguy1984]

Hello I am new to this forum, I am trying to figure out what I have, and possibly a way to get rid of it. I have had a problem with my face turning red since I was 20, it's weird though my face will look perfectly clear and white in the morning then around noon it starts getting red?? so I have found myself doing everything early in the morning for the last two years and just staying home in the evenings. I am noticing that it is also triggered by the temp outside too, I work in a warehouse so during the winter time it is very cold in there. but then when I go into the warm warehouse office my face instantly turns bright red. I am getting to the point where I can't take this way of life anymore. So I am hoping someone on this forum can point me in the right direction on how to solve my problem.. I have already tried lexapro for two months and it did nothing for the redness, just made me feel like I was high all day. I tried metrogel for a while and that did nothing for me. so I am wondering if my condition is possible to cure or not? I put up some close ups of my face on the link below so that someone might be able to tell me what I have exactly. thanks for the help everyone,

Looks like you have the R for sure mate. The redness is evident on your picks, and I can certainly relate to your afternoon flare up (I had this myself for several years).

Also looks like you have mild p&p, how long has that been occuring?

well it looks worse in the pics than in person, those pics were in macro mode. B) but I have had acne most of my life, it's actually gotten way better in the last year. I think I am finally growing out of it "the acne". but yeah after I took those pics I was kinda grossed out because just looking at my face in the mirror you can't see the p&p or whatever. so I don't know how long I have had that honestly lol. but yeah, do you think a beta blocker would help in my case? and if so which one? thanks for the input.

Right, well if thats the case then maybe that is just a touch of acne. The redness does not look servere, so I shouldnt be TOO worried.

Have you seen a doc / derm?
