Hey! There you are - - I have been looking for a person non-stop for a month who may have been diagnosed with the same thing as me. It's you. I wish we could PM and you could give me some advice. The situation started 7 weeks ago. Anything you can offer from your sagely rosacea fulminans wisdom would be so appreciated? I feel very otherworldly as I am certain you did as well. Our skin looks the same. Bad, good, whatever - - I think you may be able to help.

What have you taken?

What is the current state of your skin?

If it is clear, how long has it been clear?

Scarring?

If it is not clear, what have they told you?

Anything you can offer...

Thanks.

Dear jane, I really feel for you.
I mostly have acne now that is controlled by using acanya at night. I wash my face with cetaphil twice a day.
Now I am not convinced that I have rosacea. yes I have scarring my face looks like I have blush on but I don't. the gel makes my face look a bit irritated so that I notice the scarring less.
I used domboro soaks to dry up the sores and acne and took 4 months of antibiotics tetracyclin. the acanya gel has a small dose of anti biotic in it along with benzo peroxide. all i get now are little white heads and clogged pores which I exfoliate. post a picture if you are feeling brave.
it takes a while to go away....please be patient with your skin. eat well. I took zinc supplements with kcopper 50 mg fish oil capsule flax seed, multi vit digestive enzymes with anti inflamatory properties from micheals naturopathic brand name.
try to eat well. at one point Ihad bandages on my face it was so bad, I was picking at things and made them worse. don't do steroids longer than a week.
same thing with the steroid creams.
hope I can help support you.
