Rosacia

Acne rosacea; acne erythematosa; vascular and follicular dilation involving the nose and contiguous portions of cheeks: may vary from very mild but persistent erytherma to extensive hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands with deep-seated papules and pustules of the affected erythematous sites.

Concerned about my unhealthy skin condition,(angry red skin, spots etc.)I decided to try the doctors, perhaps an allergy to a food has occured? My father has an intolerance to gluten, perhaps this could be the answer...The doctor suggested to trest me for Rosacia, however the cream that has been prescribed means that you have to keep out of sunlight! I mentioned this to a friend and she knows someone who used this cream and it resulted in her having to avoid sunlight for life! I have decided not to use this cream until I check out what else is available for the treatment of Rosacia.
Tea Tree oil is a natural antiseptic, so I shall try this first and also go to a Herbalist to see what they suggest..
Any comments or opinions, please do......
Any information please give comments..
Thanks

I have rosacea and have given up on antibiotics because of the damage long term – I'd like to know about laser surgery can anyone help

i have bumps on my face, spreading down onto my chin but they are not really red. They do itch. My Dr. has diagnosed it as rosacia. I thought rosacia was more red and I didn't think it itched. any help?

I hear you, I also drink caffiene and smoke and have flare ups near my cycle the med's make my face clear up a little but I hate the light sensitivity I get with it.
