Facial Redness- Not Roseaca Though Posted: 05-01-05 22:47pm
I'm almost 20 years old. I have had 'rosy
cheeks' since I was a baby. I have fair
skin but i'm not a redhead or pale
looking- I have brown hair (just giving u
all the background facts). I just don't
know how to get around this facial redness
though. I went to a derm. About 4 years
ago and he told me I was way too young to
have roseaca and that it was the blood
vessels just being too close to the top of
my skin. Its on my cheeks and chin. I
have no clue what is causing this.
Eucerin lotion just came out with a
redness relief system so i'm trying that.
But can anyone tell me what I can do - if
anything- to get rid of this. I have
friends that have it- but not as bad as me
it seems. I guess i'm just destined to
where a lot fo makeup. Aahhh

You can get rosacea at any age, althrough
it is more common in the 30-40 age group.
Unfortunately there are many
dermatologists that know very little about
rosacea (as there are not that many people
with mild or severe cases). There is
some more info at the /rosacea website
directory

I understand totally what you are going
through. I am 26 and have had facial
redness all my life. I went to 2
different dermatoligists with no results.
The first one told me the same thing that
your dermatologist did about the redness.
The second one told me I was too young to
have roseaca but it was basically roseaca.
Finally, the third dermatologist said it
was indeed roseaca but it was rare for
people so young to have it. She
perscribed fincea cream for me and so far
it has really helped! Good luck to you!

Well I was 18 when I got rosacea and I
know a number of other people that are of
a similar age when they get rosacea.

Reddness That Isn't Rosacea.... Posted: 05-31-05 17:45pm
This could be hyperkeratosis (or keratosis
pilaris) if you do a search on emedicine,
just search the internet in general you
will see what this is. My son has
it.....Rough patches on the back of his
upper arms and red cheeks....It is a
genetic condition and there isn't much you
can do about it other than exfoliate and
tx with emollients/creams. There are
e-drug stores that sell stuff to tx the
condition...You will have to look around
and see what looks the best and try and
see what works for you. Hope this helps

a Good Product to Try Posted: 06-22-05 18:16pm
I have fallen in love with ddf's redness
relief. My face can be really red in the
summer months (not sunburned, just
flushed) and it really calms my skin down.
I also use their suncreens. Edit
