Rosacea Nearly Cured!

[sks42]

Rosacea has been a nightmare
A life long and exhausting battle,
My life has been difficult to manage and very depressing,I have avoided the world as much as I can.I always heard comments about my red face or how red it was getting,I tried ignoring my condition and avoided people as much as I could.
Easily embarrassed as a child and never ever seemed to be able to stop the flushing ,
as I grew older I knew I had to stay away from the world,it has led to serious depression..I smoked weed for 2 yrs thinking in my mind it gave me more confidence when I looked into a mirror I could not see the redness as if it was gone,I had a picture taken of me and boy was I red faced.
Alcohol,really makes it come out too.
I have become a loner in life and can't stand the isolation.
I have read many horror stories of this disease or condition ,whatever the real name it is a terrible devastating social illness.
I only wanted to look normal skinned.
Life has been quite miserable dealing with Rosacea.

Sorry if you are feeling isolated due to your condition. If it helps, everyone feels as if we are the center of notice when we are out and about in the world, but it's honestly not the case. I hardly ever notice other people's "issues" and when I do I never think much of it. There's a saying that "you wouldn't worry so much about what people thought of you, if you knew how seldom they did." That's the truth, rather bluntly. Truly, keep your chin up, keep trying different solutions for rosacea, and know that there are SO many people in the same boat as you! Good Luck

Hey everyone hope you are all well,

I have suffered from Rosacea for 15 years now and have tried absolutely everything to heal it. I have tried expensive creams from brands like La Mer to cheaper alternatives that claimed to be for sensitive skin like La Roche Posay/Avene and Dermalex. None of these brands did anything for my skin and i was slowly getting depressed as nothing seemed to make my rosacea any better. I have also tried LED therapy which didnt work and have tried nearly all natural home remedy masks too.

I read a website this girl had made in which she posted about ingredients of skincare and make up that contain harmful chemicals and cause skin irritation. I cant list the website yet as i am a new member and the system does not let me but, i was so fed up one day after reading her website that i went through ALL of my make up and skincare including bath products and literally THREW everything out that had harmful chemicals in it. I started using a brand called Earthbound Organics in the UK which has NO chemicals in it and my skin is looking so much better finally! I have been using it for one month now and my redness has died down so much that i actually cried when i saw my skin this morning (happy tears of course)

Also i have to add that i have discovered a doctor who has published books and has radio seminars in the US called Dr Anthony Williams also knows as Medical Medium. He is absolutely amazing!! He tells you what to exactly eat for rosacea and since following his diet tips my skin has greatly improved. He suggests to start the day on 16oz celery juice and i have seena tremendous difference in my skin! All redness i had around my body has completely cleared up thanks to his book Life Changing Foods. He describes the link between the gut and skin diseases really well.

I will share photos of my skin before and after for those interested, but i really wanted to share with you all two things that finally has gotten rid of most of my rosacea as i have been reading these forums since i was 12yrs old!

This is clearly a case of contact dermatitis - either the allergic or irritant type.

The best way to deal with this is to get a skin patch test done to see exactly what chemicals are causing you problems. It's very often a preservative called methylisothiazolinone. Or you may be allergic to Balsam of Peru which has over 200 constituents, and any one of them might be the culprit.

In my opinion everyone who has a skin condition should be offered a skin patch test. It would save a lot of heartache in the long run!
