Is anyone else super reliant on a fan during the day / while sitting down? Anytime I do any serious work, reading, coding, etc. I need to have my ceiling fan on and a smaller fan on my desk pointed...

Recently prescribed both for hair loss but very worried it could make my rosacea worse. Hot flashes are a side effect of finasteride for some.

Has anyone checked to see whether they have Mast Cell Disease?

I saw a new derm today and he was telling me that rosacea is pretty rare for people my age and suggested I have my GP examine other...

I've been taking Propranolol on and off for a few years (when needed) and the only negative is that it can affect my bowls (i.e. gas / occasionally diarrhea). This is probably specific to me since I...

I usually do a good job of protecting my skin, but this summer I've been surfing a ton and have been getting sunburnt quite a bit. I have mild type 1 rosacea and I'm kind of worried I'm going to make...

I tried this for roughly a month. No real impact for my type 1.

Haven't found a solution to this either. I get marks on my face just from the straps.

I'll be on a long plane ride next week so if anyone has any solutions, I'd love to hear

Interesting, thanks Brady.

I'd love to hear from anyone, preferrably with type 1, using topical retinoids. Haven't come across any successful reports on here yet.

Are you referring to the oral medication? She was suggesting a topical retinoid. There's no way, or it would be extremely unlikely, that demodex is the root cause of my type 1 rosacea.

Here's the...

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I was also surprised as I haven't come across any successful reports either. Here's an old article where she (the dermatologist I visited) recommends it:...

I've never really seen too many reports on using a retinoid for type 1, but I had the chance to visit a dermatologist from the RRDI list (https://irosacea.org/mac/) and she highly recommended it. She...

TWS, any update on your progress? I wish there was a better way for people to report their success with some of these products than a large array of forum posts you have to dig through. I have both...

I just tried Era-Organics this afternoon since I was curious and it immediately made me more red (within 5-10 minutes). Strangely enough I tried spot testing on my wrist and was fine.

I normally...

Rosacea / rosy cheeks / subtype 1 definitely seems to run in my family. My sister has always had rosy cheeks, though doesn't suffer any symptoms like flushing as I do. One of my cousins has had rosy...

So I ended up only using ZZ cream once 2-3 days ago and my skin is still worse. I've been afraid to use it again because I have some important meetings coming up.

A bit conflicted based on some...

The redness caused by ZZ cleared up or she saw improvement in her normal baseline redness? Does she still use it? How long was it worse before better for you?

Is it fine to use once or twice a...

I recently tried zz cream last night. It's very strong, made my eyes water, and feels weird / tingles on my skin.

My skin seems slightly worse today. Is it even worth continuing if I have type 1?

I'm curious though if it helps at all for subtype 1 or if it's mostly for inflammation-based rosacea?

@Judworth, did you purchase from this website? I'm gonna try it but that site seems a bit sketchy..

@Momof, How many times did you do laser and which laser specifically? I was considering laser sometime in the future but also worry about the longterm implications, especially since I'm only 23....

What face wash do you use for type 1?

I've been using sulfacetamide sodium/sulfur for the last year and my dermatologist will no longer fill it because I moved to another state. I was going to...

I typically take 20mg of propranolol 2-3 days a week. I've had a few instances recently where it hasn't been as effective.

A few weeks ago I had an extremely important presentation and hours...

How does Zhongthou compare to soolantra or horse paste? I was reading that Zhongthou has high concentrations of zinc oxide and sulphur that's only labeled in Chinese and hasn't really been studied at...

Subtype 1 here: Is Zhongzhou worth trying? I tried soolantra awhile back without any results, but was thinking of trying Zhongzhou. It's over $55 so wanted to see what you guys think before trying...

This is interesting. Has anyone else on the forum tried this?
