There's no need to "shoot me down". Clearly you have turned this into some kind of contest. If you go back and read what I wrote when you are in a better place, I think you might see that I'm not...

Actually, most puppies have demodex mites. Only a few dogs get mange because they have a compromised immune system that causes an inflammatory response.
...

Maybe the bacteria they produce irritates the skin, but still, there's something fundamentally different about rosacea skin compared to the general population. Don't most people have these mites?...

Hi Dartboy,

I think nose flushes are the worst. Mine has been acting up for the past six months and it really worries me as well, so I sympathize with you. Have you been back to the derm lately?...

According to the study, the only way the mite produces more bacteria is by its death. It goes on to state that their proliferation is due to compromised skin. So in fact, if the bacteria is gone, the...

so for cryin' eye, if it's bacteria from the mite, and not the mite itself really, then why don't topical antibiotics work? Like say, benzoyl peroxide 2.5% should do the trick right? It just seems...

oh and just a PS: don't let my experience with the Finacea discourage you. I have EXTREMELY dry, sensitive, thin, fair, female skin that tolerates very little if anything. You look like you have more...

Great news! So glad things are starting to clear for you. I know when I used the Finacea it was extremely drying and irritating. I don't have many p&ps, just redness so I discontinued it. BUT I know...

Gosh 20 months... that is terrible. I can't remember, do you flush and burn? Well, I just want to caution you on purpuric v-beam. I had ONE blast done on my cheek to induce a bruise, my doc said she...

Scottish, you mention that you believe makeup irritates and rec. coconut oil as a moisturizer. I had trouble with coconut oil, and really any oil, either breaking my face out in bumps or aggravating...

Yep, my nose pores are giant... never noticed that problem before the big freakin R... I have really dry skin as well so large pores make no sense. I think that's why they shrink back down when I...

Anyone able to moisturize with anything that doesn't make their pores HUGE? I've been using Cerave Lotion and in the past have used Cetaphil Lotion, both make my pores crazy big. As soon as I stop...

well, the Dermablend Cover Creme was a no go for me within about, oh 6 hours. I think either the beeswax or the mineral oil got me. Probably the mineral oil as I suspect oils aggravate my Seb. Derm....

Thank you Brady. I really appreciate your efforts and involvement here. Sorry I'm grumpy... blush:

Brady, in my humble opinion it would be best for the medical community to focus on ONE aspect of this disease and find a solution. If sun is the biggest factor for us, then dedicate all efforts...

It makes me a little angry that they blame this mostly on mental health. I think we've been over this before, some people handle hardship better than others and are more prone to depression and...

I second oopsie. I use plain water as well with a Qtip. I usually scrunch up the end of the Qtip a little to soften it for my eyes and then VERY gently go over my lids and lashes. Good luck!

oopsie, I have trouble at night too... among the many, many freakish things my body has decided to do over a lifetime, probably the freakiest is the fact that I don't close my eyes all the way when I...

The first three agreed with my diagnosis of rosacea. One told me he did not think I had rosacea, but if he could see me today flushed with P&Ps, I think he'd backtrack. The other two sort of...

Baking soda is pretty darn good at removing grime in the kitchen especially on my glass cooktop. Vinegar and water too and even the store bought glass cleaner isn't too bad. A mild earth friendly...

Salsa, my skin is CRAZY with any topicals too. I can be fine one day and then the next, everything is awful. The heat is key and nerves as I get upset about this. Wearing a hat is good, but you know,...

PS... I asked the derm today, so you think this is just rosacea and seb derm then? Her response, sitting across the room from me, not even leaving her chair "yeah, probably."

Hi Brady, the first two or three, I actually went in and said, it looks like I have rosacea. My face was beet red and flushing all the time. This started happening within the matter of a month or...

Well, tried yet another derm. This is Number 7. No disrespect, but are these people stupid? I told her I have allergies to fragrances and propylene glycol. Of the 8 samples of topicals she gave me,...
