Could I Have Rosacea? What Could It Be?

I have excessively dry skin that is almost immune to any kind of lotion or cream. I am 13 and have had skin problems for almost four years, I am over acne but I still get blemishes. It is on my face (it’s affected my forehead, cheeks, and has even spread to my upper lip!), arms and hands and back. It’s horrible, I hate it. Please help! Oh, and my mom said that if it goes on for much longer I’ll have to see a dermatologist! That would be so embarrassing! Would you suggest a soap or cream for it if you can?

Usually Rosacea shows up as redness. For example, people who always have very rosy cheeks usually have it. It can also be on the chest, etc., but I’ve never heard of it as being blemishes.
You should not be embarrassed at all to go to a Dermatologist. First of all no one has to know about it. But a dermatologist is just a doctor, and probably everyone over twenty years old in this country has been to one at least once.You’re lucky that your mom is so nice and caring to want to take you. You should take her up on her offer and then he or she will be able to tell you exactly what you have and how to take care of it. Good luck!
Oh and also try not to wash skin too often and try to wash it with something gentle like rose milk cleanser .
