Please e-mail me at home and thank you for keeping my e-mail private. I had controlled rosacia for years. When it started flaring, I got on doryx which helped a lot. I had an occasional pipmle in my 50s. But all of a sudden, I've developed this rash on my face which my dermatologist says is rosacia related seborrhea. A biopsy confirms this. All of the medication that he gives me to help the rash causes acne. He says it won't but it does in my case. I have used topical steroids. They are known to cause acne. I tried a little pimecrolimus but that supposedly causes acne too. Is there anything to treat this seborrhea rash that will not cause acne? Can anything be compounded by the pharmacist? Please help!

Here's what I've done: Lysine 500 mg, 3x/daily Wash face with cold water only in am and with aloe cleanser in pm. Aloe based cleanser with NO STRONG/Bad ingredients which I found through ingredient research on the internet Pure Squalene oil smoothed on face/neck after face cleaning Gel/lotion with 5 supposed ingredients for good skin (NO SLS/fragrances/dyes/petroleum ingredients etc.) also researched on the internet Then moisturizer with researched ingredients from internet. Very ight mineral makeup dusted on with a brush. I have finally found relief from my rosacea after many years of suffering intermittently.

It is worse in the summer. Somethimes my face is fine--no red, no flaking, itching etc. Just about EVERY lotion/moisturizer/makeup/sunscreen causes this rosacea thing to emerge. I have light skin and pale blue eyes. I suffered some extreme sunburns when younger. I would love to know just what products/substances I could use to protect my "hide" from cracking/wrinkles etc. Help!!! Thank you. Anne I have suffered exactly this for many years!
