Roseaca acne

[Glynis47]

I am a 73 year old lady. For most of my life I have suffered from Roseaca, but for the last 15 years I have been suffering from Roseaca acne as well. It wasn't that bad at first but over the years it has steadily got worse. At first I was given metro gel lotion but it made it worse. Then earlier this year the doc gave me antibiotics which were great. Only problem is I could only have them 6 months, and now after a month off them my face is worse than ever . Sore and itchy and it is really getting me down. Is there anything I could try to ease this dreadful complaint
