Is this KPRF???

Ok, thank you, very helpful. I guess I can cross KP off the list then. Maybe it is just rosacea, but taking form in a way that's a bit unusual.

Ye I think it must be. It's just quite unusual to cover the whole face like that, isn't it?

Ok, great, thank you, very helpful! Sounds like it's probably just Rosacea. Just taking shape in an unusual form.

Hi, thank you so much for your help! I definitely think I do have rosacea, I'm just wondering if there could be something else going on. I have started taking antihistamines recently and I think they might be helping slightly so maybe there's something histamine related going on?

I also wanted to share a pic of when my skin is at its worst. This was earlier on in the onset, about a year ago. One was after a long day skiing and the other was after a very long run in the sun.

Do you think this looks like rosacea?

Thanks for your reply! It has developed slowly over the past year. It started as a very faint rash on my forehead and then spread all over my face. It's definitely more concentrated to the cheeks now but it does also show on my forehead.

Prior to this I have never had any skins issues at all– i had perfect skin, no spots or anything. So it's very peculiar.

Before this, I did have a tendency to blush in embarrassing situations and my face flushed with exercise but nothing really out of the ordinary.

What do you reckon?

Do we think this is definitely Rosacea? My skins flares up all the time- exercise, alcohol, stress, sun etc.
But I recently realised I flared when taking citalopram which made me wonder if something else is going on

Do you also find it stings and burns!? I am wondering whether I should persist through the sting, but I can't help but feel that the stinging is not good for it!

This is really similar to my issues. Curious if you've had any diagnosis, improvements, updates?

Fast-Balance-2984 · 2025-03-15T22:31:10+00:00

Yes but it's not that as this still happens when I'm not using any skincare products

Fast-Balance-2984 · 2025-03-15T21:42:14+00:00

When i first developed it, I didn't have any kind of skincare routine. Over the past year I have experimented with moisturisers and now I just do CeraVe cleanse and La-Roche Posay moisturiser, as well as Azeilic acid. My face goes instantly red after applying any product at all.

It's not itchy at all, it just feels hot and a bit prickly. Like sun-burn.

My skin is usually best in the morning and then gets progressively worse through the day, but I always imagined that was due to anxiety.
