Re: Rosacea
I'm so sorry to hear that your rosacea symptoms have returned. That's very frustrating, especially after you've been doing well for so long. I've had rosacea for between 15 and 20 years and can relate to what you're going through. I wish I could tell you specifically what you should use for skin car...

Re: Frustrated with treatments
Hi Gillybean. Welcome! I hope you like the community here. I find it to be friendly and informative. I can relate to what you're going through. My rosacea diagnosis was 16 or 17 years ago and while I can control it a lot of the time, flare-ups still happen. I haven't tried mirvosa, but I've tried se...

Rosacea, stress and anxiety
I have a long list of rosacea triggers. They include everything from sunlight to red wine and a sprinkling of everything in between. Stress and anxiety are huge for me. I have a social anxiety disorder and panic disorder and this makes me feel like stress and anxiety are the two triggers over which ...

Christmas rosacea flare-up recovery
Christmas food, drink and makeup caused me to have a larger flare-up. I knew it would happen, but I decided that celebrating was worth the symptoms. I've been drinking water, doing LED light therapy every day and keeping up with steady skin care. Any other recommendations to get through this quickly...

Re: Sun protection vs Vitamin D
Good question. I've found that I have the best luck with the "natural" sun creams. The ones with zinc oxide tend to leave a white/chalkiness behind but they don't make my skin react. I've found a tinted one that is close to my skin colour so it's not bad at all. Nearly every regular chemic...

Rose water for sensitive skin and rosacea?
Rose water seems to be one of the hot new ingredients in the natural skin care market. I've been seeing it everywhere. Recently, I got my hands on a bottle of pure rose water as opposed to a lotion or other type of product that simply contains it as an ingredient. Is rose water as good for rosacea p...

Ocular Rosacea - most of us don't do anything about it
I was just reading up on this study done by the National Rosacea Society: https://www.rosacea.org/weblog/survey-eye-irritation-rosacea-often-goes-untreated It found that even though a lot of those of us who have rosacea also have symptoms of ocular rosacea, 72 percent of us never do anything about i...

How to explain rosacea to people who don't get it
Help, please! I have rosacea subtype 1 and subtype 2. I have it under control most of the the time, but I have some permanent redness on my whole cheeks. When I have a flare-up, it's very red (almost purple) and I get bumps/spots/papules. For some reason, this makes people think they can comment on ...

Rosacea has a mind of its own!
Anyone else feel like your rosacea is a sentient thing? Sometimes it feels like my rosacea has a mind of its own. Sometimes we get along, other times we don't. The thing is, while I can understand why we don't get along sometimes (mayyyybe I shouldn't have had a glass of wine or that bowl of spicy T...
