Im a guy and ive just turned 23, and im becoming increasungly frustrated that I CONSTANTLY have flushed red cheeks. It used to be just when I drink alcohol or over exert myself, when i was around maybe 16-18, but now i wake up every day and i look like ive just ran a marathon.

I cannot fathom why on earth this is happenning, but i feel like its genuinely ruining my life. I had a job interview the other day, and from the time of leaving the house to getting on the bus, and rushing to the place, I was so bright red and flushed i hid in a public toilet for half an hour and missed the interview.

I dont have any problems with spots, rough skin or acne etc, its just a constant redness around my cheeks and sometimes stretching up towards my temples. Ive given up even bothering to try and find a trigger - alcohol, hot weather, cold weather, bending over, pretty much EVERYTHING sets it off and makes it worse. ive tried cutting out alcohol, dairy, ive tried it all and it doesnt make a slight bit of difference.

Its making me very shy and withdrawn and I dont know what to do. I hate people seeing me and I HATE having my picture taken because I always look so red :( ]]> General rosacea questions ajb.23 http://www.rosaceagroup.org/The_Rosacea_Forum/showthread.php?t=19755 http://www.rosaceagroup.org/The_Rosacea_Forum/showthread.php?t=19754&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:32:45 GMT i had my first major flare the other day and i went to naturopath and she recommended the traumeel cream, she said it would probably get me 50% clear... i had my first major flare the other day and i went to naturopath and she recommended the traumeel cream, she said it would probably get me 50% clear by morning, she was wrong, it took till mid morning!!laugh:laugh:

My insurance wont cover and I have 2 pay 49 bucks for 60 grams. I just wanted to know if it was worth the money.
He injected the cysts on my beard area and they are almost gone grin: I was told that gel is an antibiotic like metrogel but for acne.
I told the doctor that I was sure the last shave cream I used was the caused of my cysts because they appeared only in the area I shave. He told me petrolatum was an oclusive agent, I really hope this is the end of this torture for the last 3 weeks because it seemed like I was getting a new bump every day.
I was thinking that maybe I- could use this gel on my beard area and the metrogel on the rest of my face, as maintenance (only if it works) . But 2-3 times per week I apply DERMAdoctor acne serum to prevent pimples on my face but I dont think I will apply the cleocin gel on my face even if it works on my neck and chin. I don't want to create more problems.
Any suggestions? I checked for a rebate but there was none. I will called the derm to check if he has samples. ]]> Prescription medications Erikson http://www.rosaceagroup.org/The_Rosacea_Forum/showthread.php?t=19751 http://www.rosaceagroup.org/The_Rosacea_Forum/showthread.php?t=19750&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:38:54 GMT http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/171389.php The researchers discovered Th22 cells by looking at skin samples from people with psoriasis,... http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/171389.php

The researchers discovered Th22 cells by looking at skin samples from people with psoriasis, atopic eczema and allergic contact dermatitis. They analysed the samples and found a completely new type of cell. The researchers examined the molecules the cells made and found that one of them was a signalling molecule called interleukin-22 (IL-22). This signalling molecule warns tissues that inflammation or infection is going to occur, so the tissues can get ready to recognise and attack pathogens or protect themselves against inflammation. The effect of this can be either protective or detrimental - for example, IL-22 molecules and Th22 cells can cause skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in painful, flaking skin. ]]> News, research articles and current affairs GJ http://www.rosaceagroup.org/The_Rosacea_Forum/showthread.php?t=19750 http://www.rosaceagroup.org/The_Rosacea_Forum/showthread.php?t=19747&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:46:50 GMT Link.
