Dear all,
I've been scanning and reading about all the threads from the last years
Just to give you my story: I've always had quite a good skin (except for the acne in my puberty years), just some oily nose and forehead but nothing too serious. More than 2 years ago, I noticed my upper temples getting slightly redder permanently, but I never really cared about it. I also got very dry skin, combined with the oily nose and forehead ('mixed' skin) Starting from last year, it got worse and worse and I started using a lot of OTC creams that didn't seam to work at all. I began to notice very small thread veins on my nose and cheeks, of course making the redness worse.
Last month I went to a dermatologist who diagnosed me with Rosacea (something I already diagnosed myself with after a lot of reading on Dr. Google)
.
He prescribed me a 0,75% Metrodinazol creme and SVR Sensifene (some calming creme/lotion). I've been on it now for a month but I don't see any improvement - I even think it got worse. Besides from the very red cheeks and nose including some whiteheads, I do have some very small pimples on my forehead but nothing too serious. I now started using Cetaphil cleanser the last couple of days, hoping this will work a bit on the pimples.
I've included a picture below:

Do you think it could be Demotex induced and that I should ask my derm for a Ivermectine cream? Or do the symptoms look different (not that much P&P's) that it could be something else? Will IPL/laser be the only solution you think (since I have the many spider veins).
Thanks for your suggestions!
