hi just registered on these forums and its great to be able to go somewhere where people understand what im going through heres my story .

i was recently diagnosed by my doctor with rosacea ,the problem at first was a tiny cluster under the skin he put me on minomycin tablets (australia) 2 months ago ,i also went on eryacne cream 6 weeks ago it helped but only a little now the problem has spread and ive got the dreaded papules and although it was only on one cheek its now gone to the other one aswell.

My skin now is really oily where as before it was really dry and flaky ,and i do get the hot flush type thing happen occassionally and also did get the stinging eyes aswell for about a week but not anymore.And i did have dandruff for about a week before it got worse aswell.(basically all the classic rosacea symptoms)

Wanting to see a derm next as it appears to be getting worse every day ,the last 2 days ive woken up with little heat rashs in the affected areas but if i apply a fan to them it goes away after 10 minutes ????? weird

Ive just started rozex cream aswell but its too early to tell ,any feedback or advice is much appreciated thanks for a great forum .

Heres some pictures ,they dont show it as bad as it really is but im hoping to get some feedback from people PLEASE !!!!! is it definately rosacea ?could i have seb derm aswell ?
why after going on the meds did it get worse instead of better??

thanks again

Looks more like seb. derm than rosacea to be honest.

It does appear to sound a little like seb derm. I have just this sort of cluster of tiny bumps on my cheeks this morning from using moisturiser. Seb derm can make my flushing alot worse. I would recommend that you have a look around the similar and co existing conditions section and make an appointment to go see a derm.

May I ask what you use to wash and moisturize with?

hi thanks for the response ,i only use water for my face as im too paranoid about trying soap or anything else ,im not entirely convinced it is rosacea but ive gotten all the syptoms of it such as the eye stinging and redness plus the hot flushs etc ????

the nearest derm to me is off till the 5th so ive gotta look around for another or wait

thanks again

ps: the pictures are a little misleading where the problem is the worst there are some pimple -papuly type things but in the pics it doesnt show ,is this still possibly derm ?
