Hi Raymond:
Lasers are nothing to be afraid of!

Take it from me, I've had dozens of them over the years and they have REALLY helped my Type 1 Rosacea with Seb derm (moderate to severe case on...

Hi RedFaceGirl:

I too, have some seb dermatitis on my upper chest and I try to wash it with T-Gel shampoo, or Selsun Blue shampoo. I used to use
Selsun Blue for my face for about one month and...

Hi Please Help:

Mr. Barrows is right, everyone on here has experience with this type of thing and can help!

Do see your derm next week like you said, and he/she may be able to prescribe a...

Hi Violets,
Have you considered some types of Lasers to treat this, or maybe
Accutane? I know those are sometimes recommended for rhinophyma, which is what it sounds like is developing here!
...

Hi:

Have you tried Oracea or any of the Tetracyclines? They supposedly help with the pustules and bumps of Acne and Rosacea!

Maybe Otezla or Selsun Blue might also help!

I think the Laser...

Hi JD:

If I take a few pills of vitamin D3, within a day or two my skin starts
flushing pretty badly! I don't know if that effect would level off or not, but tetracyclines, oral Prednisone and...

Hi Tjejjen:

Just wanted to tell you, I used Finacea about 16 years ago and it burned me pretty badly! Only Noritate and Metrojel are well-tolerated. I also wash with Selsun Blue shampoo and it...

Hi Sebastian:
Have you talked to a Derm about Laser treatments? This looks like the early stages of Rhinophyma. Right now, it looks pretty undetectable but you may want to treat it before it gets...

Hi Jason:

There are several products out on the market that claim to shrink pores:
Among them, i know IPL Lasers, V-Beam, and laser resurfacing can help. There are topicals that do this, too! I...

Hi ESL:

Pills would treat it better: They go to the source of the DNA, right?

Any time I use pills instead of a topical for skin diseases, they always seem to work more efficiently!

I never got the impression that ANY topical treatment will really cure a skin disease!
Look at the commercials for ProActiv, Noxzema from the 1960s and those. We STILL don't have a cure for Acne! ...

I'm sorry, Johnabetts. But it is NEVER normal for skin to be oily at 19 or any other age! That indicates a disease state, or hormonal imbalance!

Hi DG0622:

I know what you're going through, because I have suffered severe adverse reactions
to tetracycline, when my face broke out in a severe rash and it took massive amounts
of oral and...

Hi Raymond:

Just thought I'd let you know: I tried Chinese herbal meds for Rosacea about 2003-2004 but no success, they never seemed to help! I did try them for about two years but no
luck!
...

Hi Superwomen:

If you could sign up with a good derm, that would help the most, I think!

Until then, have you tried washing with Selsun Blue shampoo? It helps a LOT of skin
conditions (it has...

I have to agree: It looks like Keratosis Pilaris to me as well!

I agree with Yvette and think you should try Oracea or another tetracycline antibiotic, if you can tolerate them. I know these will work for Type 2 Rosacea, they used to work for me but now I am...

Hi,
I agree with the previous diagnosis of Keratosis Pilaris, it looks like that to me, too.

Why do we have to suffer with these things?

It's enough to recover from teen-aged Acne!...

As a 30-year sufferer of Subtype 1, you MUST treat the symptoms with either tetracyclines or Laser treatment! Laser treatments done on a regular basis will help!

If you don't treat it, it WILL...

Could Lasers help you?

Lupus can REALLY, REALLY, disfigure your skin!

Hi Italian Boy,

It looks like just a little bit of inflammation, like Seborrheic dermatitis! I don't really
see any redness or flushing, just a little breaking out! There is some sort of skin...

Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago, I had undergone excision of 3 facial moles on my left cheek and at my left temple.

The two on the upper part of my face are healing nicely (I just got the...

Hi Burn,

Believe me, I CAN RELATE! (I have had Rosacea/seb dermatitis for over 20 years and there are many times when my family minimize my suffering, I don't think my sister has had as much...

I know this post is old, BUT I wanted to respond to your comment that those who suffer with Rosacea and/or Acneiform lesions and the like are a small number. One of my doctors told me that "Only...
