re: Help with Rosacea

sunscreen seems to be one of my triggers. I just wear a huge hat, but when I do wear SC I wash my face before and asap after.

I imagine you’re talking about the kind that has pimples. Salicylic acid. It’s in my face wash twice a day, and the old school OXY pads are salicylic acid twice a day. Might need to wash your face three times a day. If it’s in your hair, need to be watching that twice a day too. Unfortunately for me diet is a big one. I’ve used Metrogel and ivermectin, and I have mixed results. The best thing I’ve done is Vbeam laser, but of course it’s like 500 bucks, but I’ve been doing it once a year and seems to really keep things at bay.

I have had redness,l rosacea, but it’s mostly like acne. These bumps that never form heads and pop. I member being a teenager and have a pimple come and go in three days, now they stay for months.

As unbelievable as it appears, it looks like these red and blue LED light therapy’s are beneficial. You can get a machine pretty cheap, or even make your own if you’re industrious. It’s just colored LED diode’s. They do have to be very close to your face, as the wave length attenuates quickly.
