Thread Name: BS: Was my face red...
Subject: RE: BS: Was my face red...
I have been struggling with this for years. I was told that it was nothing that I did or ate or came in contact with. Rosacea comes in several forms but the most common is redness. Unfortunately mine developed to the point where I had bumps all over my nose, some were quite large. They look like Acne but they are not. A little over a year ago I had surgery to remove the bumps. Rosacea is tenacious so whatever the doctor prescribes, my suggestion is that she follow to the letter and return to the doctor if it's not working. My dermatologist said that this is incredibly difficult to treat because it is something that needs to be controlled since it never really goes away.
If it gets to the point that the doctor prescribes Accutane, do a LOT of reading up on the subject! Lots of side effects on that one! I wish her the best...and no bumps!
