The red swollen nose of rosacea is a much hated symptom. I know that this was the symptom that I despised most and indeed drove me 10 years ago to start to look for good information about how to treat rosacea. Incidentally, this drive lead to the creation of the internet based Rosacea Support Group in 1998.
I hated that I looked like I had adult acne and a constant sun-burned nose. Especially as I have somewhat fair skin, a red nose stood out a mile away.
There has been quite a lot of interest in a article I wrote titled “how to cure a red face (facial erythema or redness)“. That article gave some tips on how to deal with general facial redness. What about a red and swollen nose ? What can you do to treat a red rosacea nose ? Read on for some suggestions.
A rosacea nose has the extra complication that one might end up suffering from rhinophyma. Although rare, rhinophyma is also a much hated symptom of rosacea. While we don’t know for sure how any particular rosacea sufferer’s symptoms will progress, reducing your inflammation and flushing is a good start to winning the battle.
Here are my top tips for dealing with the red nose of rosacea.
Rosacea-LTD III
Rosacea-LTD was one of my first discoveries after starting to look for treatments on the internet in 1998. They consist of compressed disks of sulfur and various salts. You wet your face and glide them over the skin, leaving a thin film. For me these `disks’ did a great job of reducing the papules and pustules on my nose. I could feel them shrinking all those acne looking lumps and bumps. As much of my redness was associated with my papules and pustules, this treatment was a good step in the right direction. I continued to use rosacea-ltd for several years.

Oral Antibiotics
If the nasal swelling is associated with the papules and pustules normally seen in rosacea, then systemic antibiotics along with topical metrogel or finacea may also be of benefit. Once the papules and pustules are under control, the associated swelling may be reduced enough to see an overall benefit in appearance. One of the newer antibiotics on the market is a low dose form of doxycycline called Oracea, which may be useful in helping to maintain a long term benefit from antibiotic usage.
Accutane
Accutane or roaccutane has been used for many years to treat cystic acne. There is a good body of evidence to say that you can successfully treat rosacea with accutane. Additionally there are some published papers that deal specifically with treating rhinophyma with accutane.
Isotretinoin has also been demonstrated to decrease nasal volume in rhinophyma. The most significant regression has been noted in younger patients with less advanced disease.

Isotretinoin has also been demonstrated to decrease nasal volume in rhinophyma. The most significant regression has been noted in younger patients with less advanced disease.
Biopsy specimens from phymatous skin prior to isotretinoin therapy showed numerous large sebaceous glands. During isotretinoin therapy, the glands diminished in size and number. Other studies have confirmed the usefulness of isotretinoin for phymatous change.
Accutane is not a drug to be taken lightly. If you would like to try this as an option, the above references might help you find a doctor that can support you using this as a treatment option. You may also want to discuss the option of low-dose accutane with your doctor.
Covering Up
As you start to reduce the inflammation, you will probably also benefit from covering over some of the redness. Some options include the easily available Clinique Redness Solutions, or Eucerin Redness Relief which may be able to offer some relief from the redness. Additionally the green tinted version of the Tone Perfecting Cream may cover some redness.
Perhaps you can find some foundation or tinted moisturizer that you can also include in your daily regime. It might not be easily obtainable worldwide, but The Cancer Council in Australia has a range of tinted moisturiser SPF 25 that looks interesting. Don’t discount a liquid foundation as a possibility, even if you are a guy.
IPL and Lasers
We now know that IPL is excellent for treating a red face and broken blood vessels. Will any of the benefits of IPL also help a red swollen nose ? In general IPL and pulsed dye lasers are useful in reducing the redness flushing, burning, itching, dryness and swelling of rosacea.
The AAD suggests that for thickening of the skin on the nose and cheeks as seen in rhinophyma, the CO2 laser and erbium:YAG laser can be used.
Surgical Options
When the growth of the nose tissue becomes impossible to manage with topicals or isotretinion, surgical intervention can be an option. Surgery can naturally have its own risks. With the removal of extra tissue also comes the risk of scarring.
CO2 Laser
A 2004 paper; The Gold Standard for Decortication of Rhinophyma: Combined Erbium-YAG/CO2 Laser, details how the authors suggest that the combined YAG/CO2 laser is superior to other lasers, scalpel, radiotherapy and skin grafts in dealing with rhinophyma.
Also some related comments from the AAD page Is laser treatment right for your rosacea? ;
Some patients with longstanding rosacea develop thickening skin on the nose and cheeks, which is called rhinophyma. The CO2 laser and erbium:YAG laser can be used to remove this thickening skin and improve the contour of the nose. Other surgical procedures used to treat this condition include dermabrasion and excision with a scalpel. Treatment options may be combined to obtain best results.
Dermatologists recommend early treatment of rhinophyma to help prevent the condition from progressing and becoming more difficult to treat. In the advanced stages, rhinophyma can cause difficulty breathing through the nose. It also is possible for the nostrils to collapse.
Other Surgical Methods
A 2003 paper; New surgical adjuncts in the treatment of rhinophyma: the microdebrider and FloSeal details a novel technique using a standard microdebrider followed by a haemostatic sealant to eliminate bleeding.

Newest rosacea false hope or real relief?–sea buckthorn oil. Anyone had any luck with it?
hey, i’ve had rosacea for the past 5 yrs and still have it at the age of 22. really knocks my confidence. i have a red nose with loads of paupals and its pretty greasy too. i take efracea thats it. now have some money to help treat it.
can anyone recommend a good dermatologist in london?
thank you
I have neuropathic rosacea and suffer with bouts of having a very red nose triggered by alcohol, heat, hot food, and hot drinks. I had laser the first time and it worked and now the second time it seems to have made it worse and the altered sensations are worse. He did a lower dose of the laser so don’t know if that made it worse? any ideas? I feel so depressed with it.
I have had mild rosacea for years. Recently it has occurred on the tip of my nose and is swollen and painful to the touch. I use Fineaca regularly. I am suffering from a severe outbreak as we speak. Unfortunately I have a job interview today and am very self consious with my “Rudolph” nose. Any concealer ideas?
Lately I have been using Regular Covergirl makeup on my nose. I know i had posted
Bobbi Brown and L’Oreal Perfect Match before but I think (in my case) the sunscreen
was aggravating it. Don’t use the Covergirl for Sensitive Skin! That made it more
red! Go figure! I like the lightest shade (ivory) and it actually feels good to put on.
Now for my latest, the Oracea helped a bit but not enough to keep up with expense.
The red clover I thought helped but I was still swollen weeks later. So– after being
sick of the Dermatologist visits and copay, I tried Elidel and got it on my own. This
is used for ecsema (spelling) but some have had success. There is a post about
not being effective (Protopic and Elidel are similar). However, after 4 days i see
some improvement with the tip of my nose. Very expensive thought and not to
be used extensively. We will beat this somehow someway. Hang in there and don’t
lose hope. Stay away from milk and high niacin cereals and coffee (also high in
niacin). It isn’t the caffeine in coffee. Coffee is a bean and FULL of niacin-a blood
capillary dialator. Good luck on your interview. Alex- lasers make it worse. It will
settle down though. Please try the Elidel presciption if you have to beg the doc
to at least try it!
Brenda – there is a great concealer you can get called Cover FX. I have tried loads and it is the only one that works. You need to get the girl on the counter to figure out which is the best colour etc but it is definitely worth the money. I dab it on with a brush and dont rub it in. I dont have any pustules – just redness and it works!
Jason – I have been recommended some Dermatologists at The Lister by a doctor I work with. I can give you their details but they will be expensive.
Thanks for the reply Alex! I will try the Cover FX. Do you know the name of the manufacturer? You know like Revlon or Max Factor.
The company that make it are Cover FX – House of Fraser sell it! Good luck!
Disenchanted!
I’m 57 now and have been fighting this red nose all my adult life. It is not as bad as some I’ve seen but red enough to make me realize that it has been a factor in how my life has evolved.
I know there are worse things that can happen to a person’s nose… (I once met a man who had no nose!) My pimply beak looked pretty good in comparison.
There are many “remedies” out there with really nothing that works all the time on everyone.
My experience with skin doctors has led me to believe that anyone with half a brain can become one! I had one tell me to quit drinking so much and smirked when I told him that I didn’t drink… He sent me for an ultrasound to see what condition my liver was in. Sure I had the last laugh but still have a red nose.
The only thing I have not tried yet is Lazer. I have been told that my nose is not bad enought for plastic surgery yet.
Oh! Another thing I read here awhile ago that I hadn’t tried yet was prayer.(?)
(I save that for more serious issues!)
Come on you useless bastards! Come up with something that WORKS!
comment via email from Joe.
“I have a new solution that has been fantastic for me. It is an inflammatory fighting lotion called ‘Two Old Goats’.
Look it up on the web to find a distributor near you.
A little on my nose twice a day has completely calmed my skin to be normal. If it doesn’t work for anyone else, then I have finally out-grown this thing.
Good luck, Joe”
i also have the rudulph nose.it started after i had rhinoplasy operation(straightening a broken nose)now my nose is bright red and its really starting to get me down.i have tried spot cream and things but none of them worked.i went to the doctor and they gave me antibiotics which i have to say worked.i took my dose and the redness went away but then came back after a week.so what would say is go to your doc get some antibiotics.i have heard tea tree oil works for reducing the redness aswell
first of all kevin i really enjoyed reading ur post,, i feel the same way doctors now days havent got a clue!!!!!
if any one on here is feeling the same way first step go to ur gp and ask for a beta blocker 2help wif the stress the check out the neo strara products or type in roscea and the first site i think is roscea care the calmin products should come up,, i tryed a sample kit of neo strara thanks to my wee sister who got me it but i thought id try the creams linked to roscea,, both r working amazing no shine,, ive only been using the calmin a few days now so ill re-post soon! good luck everyone!!!
NEVER GO DOWN THE LAZER WAY!!!! everyone do more research you will find that it makes the condition worse..
ive spend a bundle on different creams and they either make you worse or shin!
i flush and have a red nose its constantly on my mind 24/7 which is really taken effect on my social life
Reply via email from cyndipa
“What cream helped? Did you write neo strara? I never heard of that before. I had posted that I got Elidel via an online Rx for $127.00. I thought it was helping but after a few days the same old welts and spots.flared up/
Now I switched to amoxillin 250 mg. in the am and 250 before I go to bed. I also take alot of Vitamin A fish
oil but made sure I get the kind WITHOUT soy and tocopheryl (vitamin E used as a preservative). Vitamin E
makes it alot worse, I believe. My nose is constantly having little burning sensations and I am happy the
weather is cold lately. Happy holidays!”
neo strata bionic face cream the stuff is amazing,, im actually gona stick with it myself and just return the camin products! tho i havent tryed the face cleanser neo strata but no doubt it should b good,,
let me no how you get on!
hope this helps
You should try tinted zinco cream from
http://rosaceacare.com/products/zinco.html
It really calms the skin. I wear it everyday. I wouldn’t live without it.
I was using this with rosula cream. Does anybody know if rosula cream is still available? I was told it was discontinued. Rosula really worked for me. Now I am trying finacea. Is this a topical antibiotic? It works,but not as good as rosula, but still in first week of trying. It says to try for four weeks before making a decision.
Good luck everyone. It takes time.
After battling acne from age 10 (!) I now find I have acne rosacea. I use both Metrogel for the eruptions and Finacea for the redness; Finacea definitely takes time but it does work.
The biggest help was altering my diet–chocolate and ALL cheeses except cottage cheese. I love cheese so this was a biggie for me but I hate the rosacea more. You can get used to going chocolateless but cheeseless……):
I’d already been ordering half-cheese on pizza as a weight-control thing. no more bedtime cheese sandwiches; somehow cottage cheese sandwiches just aren’t the same. Couple weeks ago we got a free cheesecake and I couldn’t resist, ate most of it over a week’s time & sure enuf, am now dealing with an inflamed bump on side of nose.
Sometimes sugar will trigger my nose to flush, esp. late afternoon or evening.
Really glad I found this site.
To Andi, Finacea’s website says it’s made from naturally occuring azaleacic (spelling?) in a concentrated form. Don’t think it’s an antibiotic.
Was considering laser for acne scars but after hearing some of your cautions I’m taking my time.
hey everyone
wee update,,,,after using (propranolol beta blocker) my flushing is under controll ive even stopped using all creams, the only time i use a small drop of aveeno cream is at night after a shave
with the flushing stopped my face is looking normal i was even ask r u sick ur looking pale! i was over the moon couldnt stop smilling!
tho i still dont drink any alcohol i try 2watch my sugar intake and stay clear from spicey foods,, i still train at the gym thats the only time i will go slightly red but its nothing!
What is propranolol beta blocker and where do you get it? Diet does help. No
cheese or chocolate ecspecially.
propranolol can only be given to you by your gp,, my dosage was 10mg 1 tablet 3times per day but it wasnt really helping my heart palpitations (anxiety) so i ask to up the dosage. thats sceens to be really helping my skin as its not on my mind 24/7 so im not shining in the face which leads 2clogged pores
Hey Jonny i just got this condition, what should i buy to use on my nose?
hi john,, real sorry to hear that ur one of the unlucky ones whos now dealing with this!!
trying to find that balance of a perfect cream with ur own skin type is hard!
the steps i do to keep my skin/nose from flairing up
shave at night time and with out shaven form or gel,, dab ur face with hot water(hotter the better u will no ur limit) do not use a towel or rub ur face dry i use small organic cotten pads then jus press it easy on the face,, if u do dry up i wood say use a small amount of aveeno cream less is more or any of the other two ive wrote about.. u can also get a real good cover up for redness for the nose by clinique always go 4the oil free brand http://www.boots.com/en/Clinique-Redness-Solutions-Pressed-Powder_1129417/ people either dont like them or love them ill leave it up to u! for me they are good just use it lightly tho!
hope this helps
Did you say hot water for a swollen nose? My nose always swells in a hot shower
even without it touching my face. Lately, I have been having some success putting
some DMSO and zithromax (generic form). I just dab on the tip once a day. Staying
away from dairy and not eating before I go to bed helps, too. I used to have a bowl of
cereal before going to bed.. Between the milk, sugar and niacin
in the cereal, my nose would really swell. That was the end of my late night snack
habit. I know there’s some saying DMSO is bad
for rosace but saw a post and decided to try it. I dilute it slightly before using. It’s
better than taking it orally and dosing my whole body. Right now, for whatever
reason, I believe it is from keeping alot of strong chemicals including sunscreen,
off of my face, my rosacea is limited to my nose tip. That, i am thankful for!
Well i never really had this problem before, I had it before but it went away in 3-5 days this time it’s been a little longer. The Rosacea only happens on the tip of my nose. The doctor gave me a prescribed and gave me a sample of metrogel. I read that you bought
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0001EKYOM/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1329281945&sr=8-1&condition=new
my question to you was does it work you? What causes this to happen I am reading a lot about the food, just want to know thanks.
I have just been diagnosed with Rosacea and I am a 15 year old girl.
Last night I found out that my dad, who past last year, never knew him. Had rosacea which resulted in a red and swollen nose, and now I am suffering with Pasqtules, flakiness, spider veins and redness on my nose. I started antiobotics two weeks ago, have almost finished them now, all the Pasqtules have cleared, along with flakiness and a bit of redness, but still around my nose is fairly red. I am using rozex cream two times daily and would like to know, will this clear all the redness and how long until it does, one week so far on this cream. I am rally scared I’m going to end up with a big and red nose. :/
Molly and everyone else out there!!! I have Rosacea and two years ago it was really bad! You have got to stop eating and doing the things that make it worse and you have got to use sunscreen everyday!!
If I eat dairy or cheese I can guarantee you I will have a problem, if I eat tomatoes I can guarantee you I will have a problem if I drink alcohol I will guarantee I will have a big problem.
You have got to get the list off this website and stick to it and for all the coffee drinkers out there I have stopped drinking coffee almost a year ago and not only did my face clear up but there are no caffeine ups and downs. I had chocolate for Valentines Day and I paid for it…
I have stopped taking anything the doctors were giving me which by the way only made my condition worse!! If I get any outbreaks I simply put Milk of Magnesia on my face before going to bed and it only takes a small dab on the problem area to dry up anything out there.
My nose no longer swells and the redness is very minimal unless I do not stick to a strict self discipline to not do what I know causes my rosacea to worsen…
I have discovered the most amazing cover up that has changed my life – sounds a little over the top but it has. It now means that I can go out for dinners and all social events and feel completely relaxed. I can drink alcohol, be cold , be hot and never have to worry! It is called COVER FX and I use the compact rather than the foundation. You can get it at House of Fraser but if you live near London – there is a great girl at the Harvey Nichols counter who was so so helpful. I don’t know her name but she is afro caribbean in appearance and is so sympathetic to the problem. I also take 20 mg Roaccutane daily which helps. Good luck!
Gascreek-what list are you referring too? I find sunscreen burns my face. Which one
do you use? I try not to use anything anymore on my face-no soaps or creams and
only a touch of makeup on the spot (Covergirl Regular-not the Sensitive skin one.)
I have suffered from he red nose for 18 years or so from the age of about 12/13 and live in UK,I can remember vividly it happeneing overnight and I thought it was sunburn lol i’m still waiting for it to go away.I havn’t looked at internet for years now as I was and still am confused by the number of creams,tablets etc that people keep talking about and also the cost.I have also become aware of parting with money on websites that claim miracles…..world is full of people who take from those wo are desperate.
Psychologically and emotionally I think is where alot of people need to start as even when you are trying treatments you have to live and go out into the harsh reality of social encounters.We’ve all been there when we know how we look or you feel the flare up in public and poeple stare or laugh,trying to hide away isn’t easy so you need trength of character to either deal with it or make it some where safe.You know what I would hapily chat with anyone wou needs to especially younger people because it’s often older ones who are supposed to get it and I think it can be different to the effect on your life.
I am now married for 5 years with a son,I have no idea how I managed this and although I am still struggling inside I am lot stronger and resilient.I did explain to my wife when we met but I feel she actually still doen’t get it,she is Japanese and we are moving there shortly for new life so I am having the issues all over again…my condition seems to have improved slightly due to less acne and perhaps a better lifestyle and awareness of stress.Tlking to close ones about the problem is actually not easy as for me particularly I don’t want to make people more aware of something than is necessary.You may like me find you spend your whole time trying not to bring attention to it.
During my renewed desire to find something that helps apart from a lifestyle change I have decided to look at this apple cider remedy it’s cheap and available so I will spot test it and see lol.Triggers or flare ups are so difficult to identify but you will see so many on here as obvious onesthat all sufferers have.But I am feeling that a large one is stress or emotional state as the last few years I have been a bit more relaxed and funny (with rosacea you have to develop a good sense of humour on the outside no matter how much you hurt inside-clowns-something I have been likened to not nice) but the point being having more relaxed lifestyle is better and not focusing on it.During my teen years it became an obsession whereby I would spend a whole day in and out of athroom checking myself for redness! Even now I have developed a technique that lets me subtly check my skins redness in public and it’s becoming an annoying nervous habit…..I will rub my eyes or make out there is something in it and look down my nose,generally you can see the two tone between the fair skin and the red skin often is seems relatively pale and I feel better and sometimes you can see or feel it even before you check that it’s red.
Lighting is one of my potent nemesis at the moment with adveres temperature changes,quite alot of shops or food areas have that bright hot cook your skin lighting or the high UV tryoe lights that you kow and can fel will effectively burn the skin and it can take hours to calm not good if your out….so anyone that perhaps hasn’t noticed beware of this.
I will keep you aware of changes I make and things I try as the stuff doctors give will work for some or to make things a little more bearable but generally it doesn’t help.I think as a sufferer you need to prepare for the fact that it’s with you for the rest of your life,this isn’t easy and you don’t want to accept it but if yu can do this just a little it helps,and if you find some cure or cream etc that improves it just 50% your life improves 100%.I just think too many of us are fighting the condition on the surface and are in danger of becoming obsessed and then getting majorly depressed when nothing happens or it regresses at some point,start inside first.Again if anyone wants to talk to me about it or just share/ask questions about experiences etc I am more than welcome.Losing your teen life while everyone else is living theirs is’t easy and then ,moving on to adult life with jobs and responsibilities can be even worse.
My rosacea isn’t necessarily better but my life is…i even completed an english teaching course to teach abroad lol but I still fear that my condition will worsen and I will have that massive red bobbly nose I have seen some with…it’s frightenening but if it happens it happens im not sure there will be muh I can do about it realistically without the risk of making the condition worse,and this is my fear of all these creams etc making it worse because I still have to work and live evryday which is hard enough,so what if it gets worse?
Okay enough from me for now sorry ended up being an essay but its helped and thats exactly the point let it out (I never had anyone to talk or compare to-noone understood)
Molly – the website for the list of triggers is; http://rosacea.org/patients/materials/triggers.php and I use Aveeno Active Naturals Sunscreen SPF 55. I went off all the Dr medications and started using Cherry Flavored Milk of Magnesia on my face at bed time, just concentrating on the affected areas. Just shake up the bottle and dab it on where treatment is needed. It took several weeks in the beginning but my face cleared up. Now if I eat or do something that triggers my rosacea it just takes several day for it to clear back up with the Milk of Magnesia.
I have tested out the list deleting all triggers from my every day activities or diet, and then one by one add one see what the results are and either keep on my list or take off the list but you need to give a week or so to each trigger to make that determination. Sometime it will take being exposed to a trigger several days for the reaction to come out on my face.
My face was going into stage three Rosacea when I started using the above, I was worried about the swelling of my nose and the constant redness and breakouts with the large painful bumps under the skin, but those things are a thing of my past unless I go off the trigger list.
Ok little update,
and I have been more relaxed lately too.Next on the list is to buy a moisturiser and maybe some good suncream or something,moving abroad I need to get in a better position quick 
I have been using this apple cider vinegar I kept hearing about (Aspalls cyder vinegar Tesco) drinking one cap every morning and evening and also mixing 1-2 drops with 2-4 drops of water and using a round pad to wipe onto affected area (nose).I have to say my redness doesn’t seem so bad but it’s hard to say if it’s because of this even the odd flare up didn’t seem as nasty so maybe it works.I am still in the process of giving up all the hot drinks,chocolate etc and maybe even cheese lol and drinking alot more water on a daily basis.One thing I have noticed is stress or anxiety tends to be major trigger for me so not thinking about it helps
Hopefully this gives one or two people some extra ideas or something to try for themselves.
Gascreek,
What type of skin do you have? Oily, dry, combination?
Has your lingering red spots cleared up? I find that I have lingering red marks after a breakout that linger for months. If I look really closely they have that red spider vein to them. Does the milk of mag clear those up too?
Anybody,
I’m using the roseacea Ltd and it’s working well for me. Though still waiting for some lingering redness to go away. Not sure if they will. I used to use rosula topical lotion and loved it, but they discontinued it recently. Does anybody know of an alternative to rosula? The main ingredients were 10% sodium sulfacetamide and 5% sulfur. I miss it sooooo much! It says it is for acne vulgarious, acne rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis, all of which I think I have. IF ANYBODY knows of a substitute please let me know.
Also looking for an oil free concealer if anybody knows.
Thanks,
Andi
Alex,
I noticed you like the Cover FX. In your earlier comment you said concealer, but in your later one you say compact. Would you mind clarifying? I went to the store yesterday and there seems to be different types of foundations; liquid, powder, cream. The concealer comes in a tube. Which one do you prefer?
Thanks,
Andi
Why is it purple emu rather than plain emu? As for cover fx–I saw some bad comments on the Sephora store site which sells it but lists reviews as well.
Personnally, I think it seems to be too heavy and can aggravate rosacea.
Andi, My skin used to be oily but over the past ten years is more of a combination…
Hi Andi
I use the compact as the liquid concealer did not cover and seemed to slide off if that makes sense. I went to the girl on the counter and she spent about an hour working out which was their best product for my problem . I swear by it and am off to buy more in case they stop making my colour. It certainly hasn’t aggravated my problem -
I also take Roaccutane 20mg daily.
Alex,
Thanks, but what do you mean by compact? Foundation, concealer? I’m from America, so it might be called something different.
Thanks, andi

Is anyone using Rosacure. I’m a senior and just now been subjected to
red nose and veiny red marks on my cheeks Which do you find has a better
outcome, metrogel lotion, rosacure, rosula. Thank for your help. You’re
never too old to want to look good.
I tried all of those and none of them worked. The only thing that works for me is laser along with low dose Roaccutane. 20mg once a day. Good luck !
Mary Ann: I, too, am a senior and have had rosacea for 2 yrs. I was prescribed Rosasol cream by my Dr. and it tones down the red. For special times, I dab a bit of Lancome’s “Ageless Minerale” powder which is formulated to tone down redness. I just dab a bit on with my finger. Other make-up can be applied over this, but I don’t bother. Thankfully, I don’t have the postules that can accompany rosacea. I hope you find something that helps you.
