I am just a teenager and I have a ton of redness on my skin! My Nose, cheeks, and chin are always really red and it gets even worse when I am in public. I am using this mousterizer from whole foods, noncomodogenic sunscreen, and cleanser from sephora. I went to a dermitologist and she said it was trademark early signs of rosacea and perscribed me finacea foam. It doesn't seem to be working well and I just dont know what to do. Should I change my skin care routine or something? Im just a child this shouldnt be happening to me!!!

    My dear fellow rosacea suffere, I implore you, please consider sticking to your skin care routine. I am 20 years old, have suffered with rosacea for a year and a half, but unfortunetly did not indentify it until a couple weeks ago, I didn't know what rosacea was - 99% incurable red acne on face. Anyway, I was on a skin care routine(proactiv) to help out a severe acne breakout, but I got an inverse reaction to the stuff - rosacea! It kept it amazingly under control, limited to about 10% of my face, I decided to quit my regime for its irritation and because I thought I could do better without it, but over the 5 1/2 months off my regime my rosacea plagued about 30% of my face. Tried to get back on it, and guess what, my rosacea increased to about 50% of my face in just a week - this past week!, with most of it sighted after the first day going back on it! As u can imagine, I am in complete shock and disapoointment that my rosacea is now completley out of control. You need to know that quitting your regime is most likely to be very costly, and that going back on it might only make it worse, please be careful, I would hate for you to end up looking like me sad, I hope this will help your decision.

    Hi Steph and Katie. I've had Rosacea for a couple of years now and after several different treatments have found that Metronidazole cream applied daily stops me from flushing and Oxytetracycline antibiotics for a few weeks if I develop spots works for me so you could ask your Gp to prescribe the cream for you. Don't despair, by trial and error you will eventually find something that works for you

    I'm frustrated with my skin. I am taking 50 milligrams of Doxycycline once a day, metrogel in the morning and evening I also use the mirosava. My skin is getting worse. It gets bright red, hot ,burns and stings . Just out of the blue At least 2 times a day and last for hours. Nothing is helping .I'm beginning to avoid social gatherings and feeling depressed. I had beautiful skin up until 4 months ago .

      I was reading some of the threads last night it seems like people got improvement with increased doxycycline. So today I increase my doxycycline to 100 milligrams bid. I'm going to see if this helps. Good luck to you as well

      Hi I was speaking to my specialist by phone and she says to increase my Roaccatune to 2 every other day but it will give me pretty sore and chapped lips will try for a while if it helps good if not will stop, hope that works for you too it is a crap problem. Peter
