Just Dianosed With Rosacea.............
Posted: 07-24-04 16:07pm
Hello all,this is my first time on this chat room and first time in any chatroom.I've just been dianosed with rosacea ,first stage ,and hopefully things won't get any worse! Been getting hot flushes and blushes now on and off for 15years now,didn't have a clue what the cause was!Things got really bad this year as my doctor gave me an injection of kenolog (steroid injection) for my hayfever,suddenly my face began to burn(sure you know)and now have these bloodly red lines on my right side of my face.I decided to see an skin specialist at this stage to find out what the hell was going on!Anyhow was dianosed with rosacea,and the rest is history!Just wondered if anyone else has the the same condition as me and how there copeing? Must admit getting used to my red lines on face now,hope everyone else does as well.Cheers steve...........

Hello pilleus,haven't tried metro cream or metrogel. I decided to change my lifestyle instead.Exercise,healthy diet,less booze Crying or Very sad .I also found out what my triggers are,chololate,alcohol,strong sunlight,and sometimes cold winds tend to make my cheeks burn,so I just try to avoid these things best way I can.Since finding out what triggers my rosacea,things have improved,and hopefully will continue to do so Smile .Anyone else out there with the same problems I suggest keeping a diary, it helped me alot to suss-out what was going on,and what to avoid.

Best of luck all! Wink

What exactly is rosacea? I've always thought i've had it, but never knew for sure. I have rosey cheeks or face I should say all the time and I get a blushed face really easily.
