[LAMBGS]

If anyone has both how do you know if you have Seb Derm on your chin and not rosacea.

Seb Derm = dandruff with rash

Rosacea = facial rednes, blushing, and sometimes acompinied by acne.

Both conditions are co-related because its a disease of oil glands. For many people on this forum they developed rosacea when going to dermatoligist to treat skin rash (seb dermatitis) and was prescribed steriod creams. Well its is now known that seteriods thin the skin permanantly and as a results aggrevate your conditons by producing facial redness (Rosacea).

I don't have seb derm, but I'm very skeptical that rosacea is a "disease of the oil glands."

If you do have seb derm and rosacea, it's a really difficult trick to manage both at the same time. Best of luck, though.

how about topics that haven't been covered millions of times?

[Ajay]

Know what I have been away from the forum for some time because of people like you, we are all scared,worried about our conditions and asking questions and getting answers really helps, if your new to the forum you may not know where to go, but I could tell you where to go.

sorry forgot to say this is aimed at FUT

I agree 100% with Ajay. So what if people ask questions a million times. I've been through nine months of Rosacea hell and now Seb. Derm. I will never tire of answering the same questions. If I can help one person just one tiny bit and help take away some of their fears, then that's a good job done. Also, information changes and some people are better and more accurate that others at explaining things. Why shouldn't we constantly evaluate what we're saying? Surely this is good practice and should promote health discussion - not a response that tells someone in need to go and get stuffed!! :twisted:

The other thing that has not been mentioned is that seb derm normally responds well to treatment, and can be cleared up reasonably quickly, unlike our rosacea!
Average seb derm responds well to topical anti fungicidals, and even better to anti fungicidals combined with cortisone, though unfortunately we have to rely on the straight version sinc our skins are so sensitive to steroids!

People.

The point Fut is trying to make is that you should be searching the archives and doing a little reading before asking all of these questions.

Have you not seen the Rosacea Support Group? The same question is asked/answered on a weekly basis. That would drive me insane.

This forum has thousands of messages with very helpful information.

Spoon feeding can only go so far.

Just to clarify things here... NEVER USE STEROIDS ON YOUR SKIN. Ahh, I feel better.

The point that everyone else is trying to make is to be more helpful and courteous. Don't be so arrogant, not everyone can be as perfect as you.

[Ajay]

Hopefully Chuck you never fell the need to ask a question the may have been answered before ( oops sorry forgot your perfect).When your new to this game it is as said very scarey and you just want help and reassurance,to some it may be a pain giving help in which case what are they doing here, we are all in this boat together so surely it's best to help any one and everyone.
