Allergic Reaction Or Roseacea? Posted: 10-24-05 14:24pm
The bridge of my nose gets very red and
hot usually whenever I eat hot (not spicy)
food or enter a warm house/building after
being out in the cold. It feels like I am
stuffed up but I am not. I do have
allergies and take daily medication for it
and I am also a fair skinned irish woman.
Does anyone have an idea about what this
could be?

Rosacea (also known as adult acne) is
common among people
of english and irish descent.
We react to heat, stress, exercise,
alcohol.
Some people have a "butterfly" effect
across the nose
and cheeks. Some have a bulbous nose,
like w. C. Fields,
the guy in movies from the 30's with a
top-hat and sort of
a whiney voice. No known cause, but
topical meds are
available.
