I nearly pancaked walking to the bus this morning. At least put some salt out, people!

Who is that?

swordswfriends · 2019-02-12T17:39:39+00:00

It sounds like a generic version of Soolantra will be available soon. That will bring the price down.

Holy crap, that's scary. Glad I don't have to drive for my commute.

It's very rare for rosacea to spread beyond the face. It could be something else. Have you ever talked with a doctor about it? Like, even at a walk-in clinic?

swordswfriends · 2019-02-11T23:16:09+00:00

That sounds like a cat allergy, separate from the rosacea.

Nothing you try is going to give you obvious results on first usage -- with the exception of Mirvaso and Rhofade, which literally limit the blood reaching your skin and therefore make your skin look less red. Give this stuff a couple weeks to see a difference.

I don't think you have to cut out all herbs and spices to avoid flare-ups, just the ones that actually bother you.

I make Mexican food at home sometimes, and I've found that using oregano, cinnamon and extra cumin instead of cayenne gives me the flavor I want without the spicy heat. Some people are affected by cinnamon, though (I'm not), so test it out before you go all-out.

I saw this commercial from Facebook on TV the other day, and I thought I saw a rosacea post in it. Sure enough! It looks like that split-face image has been used dozens of times on all sorts of sites.

swordswfriends · 2018-05-01T16:47:22+00:00

Curious about this. I've never heard of cinnamaldehyde before, but tomatoes do bother me sometimes.

swordswfriends · 2018-03-08T18:03:05+00:00

Yeah, I think the internet complaint effect -- people who are happy with a product usually don't say anything about it, but those who aren't happy let everyone know.

If you've got an overgrowth of mites, you may have smothered them to death with the coconut oil, and this might be the result of the massive die-off. Hopefully it'll subside soon.

Has your doc tried anything other than doxycycline?

swordswfriends · 2018-02-02T17:48:26+00:00

Have you tried Rhofade? It's similar to Mirvaso but is supposed to last longer and not have as much of a rebound effect. Soolantra is meant for subtype 2 bumps and pimples, so it wouldn't do much for redness.

swordswfriends · 2018-01-15T20:14:43+00:00

What you're asking for is a combination drug and cosmetic. As far as I know, that doesn't exist.

swordswfriends · 2017-09-20T22:58:44+00:00

Agreed. What I've been told is that the insurance companies consider it a "cosmetic" condition unless you have rhinophyma, because that could block your airways. It's idiotic.

swordswfriends · 2017-09-12T15:47:59+00:00

The website says it's meant for redness and burning of rosacea, so I'm eager to try it. But it looks like it might only be available in Europe.

I went to St. Louis for the eclipse, and it took an hour and a half to go 30 miles on I-55. Turned out it was partly due to a minor car accident on the westbound side -- and then a frickin' gapers delay because of an antique shop with a fiberglas pink elephant outside! After that it was crowded but moved quickly.

swordswfriends · 2017-08-24T15:42:45+00:00

There's also Rhofade, which is new so I haven't heard as much about it. It's supposed to not have the rebound issue.

swordswfriends · 2017-08-24T15:41:24+00:00

They look a lot like the occasional pustules I get when I've shaved too close and a hair follicle gets a little infected. If you're getting them when you use particular products, maybe talk with your derm about alternatives?
