I've been posting a bit recently so thought I would
put my pic up here.
This constant burning, flushing and redness is
really REALLY hard to live with.
I'm pretty tired of being a social hermit because of this problem
and I hate how it affects my personality!
But hey, I've been dealing with it ever worsening for the last
30 yrs and am still alive and kicking.
I guess what does not kill you, makes your stronger.
Not happy maybe, but stronger.
I also know the years of stuggle and pain have enabled me to
develop empathy for others who also have troubles.
Not looking for any sympathy, I know there are plenty
of people dealing with their own demons and problems.

I've been told its a mixture of rosacea and KP.
Any one think otherwise?

Thanks for looking! :cry:

I've honestly never seen anything quite like that, with the very specific areas you have. What treatments are you pursuing?

I have seen before and after pictures of laser treatments mostly VBeam that looked like you (before) and was completely clear after the treatment. To me, it looks that laser will take away the redness...

I have several different diagnosis, but no concrete answer as to
what it is or why.

I have tried IPL with no improvement and am now trying laser genesis
as I am documenting in the IPL/Laser forum.
