I was interested to read in the hot topic section about "rosacea dermatitis".

A prime feature of what I have is scaling, and a tiny, bubbly kind of dermatitis. I am on 10mg accutane, as have been diagnosed with resistant rosacea, although my derm at first thought it was "just" a dermatitis. It's itchy and burning.

I've eliminated everything I can think of, trying to see if it was a contact derm.

Anyone else relate to the rosacea dermatitis description? Did accutane help, if you have this?

Thanks all!

i have flushing, increased sweating, acne, redness, scaly areas. i also have some stinging and itching. i thought i had an eczema like condition from sundamage. the cold makes me dryer and the heat makes me dilated. i have seen the best derms and im still at a loss for what to do.
