I don't flush or have a bulbous nose, but I was diagnosed with rosacea.
what i DO have is small pimple-like things that show up on ONLY the cheeks (of my face). They don't feel or act like pimples however, they just stay red and get kind of crusty. The rosacea salve they gave me just makes my face burn, and it hasn't had any effect on the pimply things
anyone else out there have this problem? what did you do to fix it? my mom used to work for a dermatologist, and she thinks it is mild rosacea, along with an actual dermatologist, but it's been a month of using the salve and there is no noticeable difference
i have went from:
shaving with shaving cream, to
shaving with no shaving cream, ie shaving with warm water only, to
shaving with warm water and lotion, to
shaving with cold water, to
not shaving at all
none of those had any effect, so it isn't any product i put on my face (or lack of product) causing this
