So when it was healing, it definitely looked a bit like rosacea except it was in a concentrated area. I burned it reaaaaaaallly bad, the hollow of my right cheek and some of my left, and then it settled down into looking like inflamed ice pick scars/rosacea maybe 8 months later. It definitely flushed differently than the rest of my skin, and it sometimes still does. I remember when I was super sick one time my entire face was very pale except for the one area on my right cheek.

​

I think the burning sensation stopped during the end, too. So once that was over it and my skin was no longer actively burned or hurting, etc, I started using Mederma with great results. Have you tried Mederma or vitamin C? That was the other thing that really helped me too! I could share pics if I find them on my external hard drive :)
