Hi -

Thanks for posting your pic's.

Your redness doesn't seem severe, more mild, have you had some treatments? IPL's or other? Your face has an even tone and I don't see any P/P (more vascular Rosacea).

Thanks again for sharing. Takes some courage.

Hi Yvette,

I have been able to keep the redness under control, especially after I learned I have rosacea. I do not flush near as much I as I used, as I have changed my diet, use moisturizers, less alcohol, etc.... But the bumps and acne are the problem area for me now. Everything I do, try, does NOT work. I havent aggravated it, but I have seen no signs of improvement either. This is my big frustration...... This is where I have searching and asking for suggestions!!!
