Do I Have Rosacea? Please Help?
Ok, I am a 17 year old. I have had acne since I was about 12 and have been on many acne meds (Retin A, Ziana…etc). My face tends to get really, really red. It feels very hot to the touch and looks red all over, with emphasis on my cheeks, especially when embarrassed. It gets so bad that some are my friends are like “You’re almost purple!” Which tends to get really annoying…I also take hot showers so this might contribute to the redness. I have a dermatologist, but she hasn’t said anything even when I told her about the redness, but I will bring it up the next time I see her. If you have any suggestions to help with redness, please tell me.

Rosacea usually looks more pimple like, and does not cover all over your cheeks and doesn’t feel really hot. If you are fair skinned, you are just one of those people who tends to get red cheeks. I was always like that as a kid myself, and still can get that way. I cover it with make up like mineral powder.
This sounds similar to Eczema, and here is how they treat eczema in Japan with good results. Watch the video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxLW-HKgQ…
You can ask on http:/craigslist.com for 8.5 alkaline drinking water, place a wanted add for the water. Someone who has a machine might see the add, and supply some water to you for a couple of weeks, to try it out.
I don’t know if this will work for your skin condition, it would be best to try some and see.
Good Luck.
you might have rosacea.
go to www dot clinique dot com and take the redness quiz. It will tell you what kind of redness condition you have.
