I've had redness in my face almost all my life and back in April I finally seen dermatology who confirmed rosacea which was a relief as had tried so much over the years thinking it was acne and nothing worked, the creams I was given and tablets as usual have looked like they where working and now back to square one I'm so upset as it makes me feel so ugly I'm already not very good looking and I won't step foot anywhere with out make up even the garden or if I'm expecting a delivery, I just wish I could find something that works permanently :( lost hope of ever being comfortable in my own skin

Hello Emsky, thank you for sharing about your Rosacea, it is understandable that you should feel upset about it. I'm sorry you didn't get responses from members of the community. It sounds really hard for you. Not sure if there's a permanent cure for rosacea, but please don't give up. There are lots of people who will love you just for who you are as a person rather than your appearance.

Take care

There isn't a cure but they can give you stuff to calm it down so it's not as noticeable, I have people who love me for me, but I want to be comfortable in myself, it's very frustrating for me as I can't do last minute plans as I have to get make up on before I feel comfortable, it stops me from doing certain activities that I would like to do as well and I'm tired of spending so much time and money covering myself up :( I just want normal skin, before make up I always had people staring and comments made to me as well
