This is actually back before I had Rosacea, but as you can see my face is quite red. My face looks like that now but WITH Rosacea. Maybe a little worse because of the flushing that's been going on lately, but mainly the same.

I see a little redness on your cheeks and eyelids? but nothing terrible. Have you seen a doctor and had a diagnosis?

Well my last Derm wasn't much help at all. I told her that I thought I had rosacea and she just agreed with me. I asked what I could do about it and she handed me a nasty Topical that I used for 2 weeks and then tossed it.

I went back and she said that after 6 months of Accutane being over I could get a V Beam treatment. Right now I'm only 4 months off of Accutane so I can't get any type of laser done at the moment.

The picture shown there was from last summer when I didn't think I had Rosacea, just general facial redness. Now it's worse and now I have Rosacea. I was mainly posting because I think I have something that spans beyond Rosacea. Hence my red eyelids... wtf is that? I was thinking maybe it might be some type of Dermatitis? But I really have no idea.

I have a Derm appointment with a different Derm in a few weeks so maybe he can help me out, although I doubt it. Also I don't think there are any "Rosacea Dermatologists" around my area at all.
