hey, i've been reading your forum for some months now. but now i've decided to post a message.
you've got pics of my rosacea which used to obsess me for years, but now i m fine and i do not longer blush that often. i've consulted some dermatologists and it seemed that the IPL was the cure for me. i refused to take it because i do not have financial support. since a month or two now,my rosacea has ameliorated. i used to look in the mirror a lot to see how red i was and it became a habit for me. now i look in the mirror occasionally.
i know how bad it is to be obsessed with it, i know how hard it is, but maybe you should try spending you time by doing smth productive. i do not want to sound pathetic, i don't know how it worked in my case, i just woke up one morning and say i was not that red and i thought oh well it's just the beginning of the day, one hour later i'll look like a tomato. but it wasn't so. i blamed the hard day that i've had, i was kind of pale, but the same thing happened next morning. and so on..now i try to focus my attention of smth else.
This is my advice for the people who stress a lot on this matter. It is simply useless..

I understand your point of view. But please be aware that different people are affected in different degrees by this condition. This is why we defined comparative degrees for rosacea: mild, moderate and severe.
While it is easy to follow your advice for sufferers with a mild condition, moderate and severe sufferers need medical intervention and advice.
Yes that is true....mild (as yours is) wouldn't make me think twice about it truly...you look fine to me. However the more serious forms that lots of us have do a number on person for sure. If your entire face is red, swollen, broken out, flushing & burning it's another ball game entirely.
