Since 2 months my rosacea flare ups have worsened. Not only noss flushing, but it has heavily spread to my cheecks. This made me increase the dose of carvedilol to 25 mg. But no success...
I've had a really painful breakup a week ago & my skin has completely gone down hill. I now get flare ups daily & multiple times as well. My cheeks are suffering, the stinging never seems to go away. Products I'm used to applying make my cheeks inflame & sting more.
I don't know what's going on.
It's scaring me & honestly, I've hit an all time low.
It's bad enough to suffer from a heart break, but my skin is completely failing me as my rosacea is spinning out of control.
I guess stress is part of it, but these flare-ups have been appearing before the drama. I'm wondering if Isotretinoin is taking a toll on me, making my skin more sensitive to flushing?
I've been thinking of adding another off label medicine along with carvedilol.
Any recommendations?
I'm pretty desperate at this point & it's taking a huge toll on my mental well-being...
