Rosacea

[Guest Posts]

My name is Paul and I am 63 years old. I have suffered all my life with Rosacea. I have tried virtually all treatments. Including IPL laser, Miravaso etc. However I still have a permanently red face. Heat appears to be the main trigger the hotter it is the redder I get and sweat profusely. I like to believe that I have an healthy lifestyle. I just wondered if there was any other tips or ideas to help mitigate the redness. As the social embarrassment is at times overwhelming.
Kind regards

Dear Paul,

I am so sorry to hear about your problem! I am afraid Mirvaso and laser are the most reliable and effective treatments but perhaps you can ask you GP or dermatologist to try clonidine medication off licence?

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
