Hi Rod,
Brady and Elaine are right in that a diagnosis is needed - and not possible to get on the forum. There are many different variations of red-inducing skin conditions. A telemedicine...
Hi, I had colossal flushing - deep red, blood filled - I looked like a blood blister. :) As awful as that was, the stinging bothered me more than anything. Painful stinging at moments - but also just...
My rosacea used to be severe - as in deep red flushing of my whole face. It was a 10+. Now I'd say - if I can stay out of hot rooms - I'm about a 2 or 3. In a hot room, where my face might sting and...
I hear ya. It sounds hardcore. But it's not. I didn't just turnaround one morning and take all of the "bad food" out of my diet. And I never was 100 percent with any of it. We have to be realistic -...
Hi, yes, I did have a couple of basic allergy tests - one with an allergist MD and another a derm. I had a mild reaction to shrimp in one test. And a reaction to nickel in the other.
I grew up...
I had this problem. I was barely sleeping most nights at its worst. If you look at some old threads on sleeping & flushing - you'll see me asking for help about it.
What helped me -

Thank you so much, Cal. One of the challenges of those suffering here is that when some get better and fade off from the forum - we don't know what may have helped them. Thank you for your kindness...
Hi Rich, my flushing/rosacea wasn't from Accutane. I never took that. My understanding from past folks on here who've had Accutane-induced rosacea is that they were taking oral Accutane - the brand...
Hi, Do you guys think this can help type 1 rosacea? Mine is primarily flushing and redness. Not much in the way of breakouts.
Hi Marcello, Congratulations on your success! It's so great when we get some relief from this skin condition.
I'm wondering though - did you start the canola oil when you started the Lutein? I...
Hi, search on the forum and elsewhere for other experiences with Mirvaso. It's caused some difficult rebound flushing for many rosaceans. So you'll want to proceed with caution and be fully informed...
Yeah, not sure how exactly it works. Sulfur is a huge component of our body - so it plays a key role. MSM is a great detoxifier - so perhaps that has something to do it.
Here are a couple of...
BTW, you shouldn't start out with MSM at a high dose and you don't have to take as much as I am to see results. MSM also has a detoxifying effect, so it's best to start slow and see how you do as you...
Hi Miss M, I'm taking about 6-8 grams per day. Half in morning - half later in the day. I'm thinking of reducing the dose soon to a maintenance dose. Some people say it affects their sleep, so not to...
Hi, I don't want to derail the Soolantra thread - but thought I'd pop in with a few outside suggestions. Rosacea is a pain; but it's all about trial and error in terms of finding what works for your...
This happened to me after going to Switzerland this past spring. But I went from American air conditioning to no air conditioning as the Swiss were having a heat wave. Even when it wasn't super hot,...
Well, I started taking it every day at the beginning of the year. In helping my skin be calmer, it was paler, but I could still flush to warm rooms and lights. So I would still get red when I...
Hi, I've used MSM as a topical and internally in capsule form. I had improved results using both together. I don't know if one was better than the other.
I'm subtype 1 - the red and flushy type. ...
Looking great, Miss M! :)
There are many options out there. And I'm not an expert on them. However, I'm using vitamin E and jojoba oils at the moment. Started a few days ago. I just use the Vit E caps and mix one with a few...
You don't appear to have rosacea. Rather, acne. Specifically closed comedones. You probably should seek out a second opinion with another derm. I think you've been incorrectly diagnosed.
Also,...
Amberelle, MissM is right. You have nothing to lose! Soolantra is a great place to start. I have type 1, but still find it soothing. (The tea tree treatment has helped a lot of folks here. Kisha, for...
Weezer, Have you tried an anti-depressant for the burning? For the corneal nerve endings? After I went on Zoloft, about 2 months or less later the burning in my face subsided. I wonder if an...
Hi, as MissM mentions look at Soolantra, ZZ cream...or tea tree oil with moisturizer.
You don't mention what treatments you've tried. The most significant given your symptoms would be diet.
