                        I am so sorry that you, too have this 'lousy' Rosacea!  I have had it for 20 years & I am still fighting it.  My husband just said to me, which didnot go down too well, that I have to learn with people staring at me...because everybody does.  Unless I am in a sub-zero temp. - everyone looks, stares or comments.  I have tried everything topical - everything oral - & now have had two ultra beam laser treatments - which have a 3 month 'down' period.  I read in yesterday's N.R.S. booklet about Rosacea 'discomfort'....  Finally; they got a little more accurate - instead of the 'usual'  creams or tripwires etc..  I am sorry that I have written so harshly.  I thought the laser treatments were really going to help, but they havenot.   Dr. Geoffrey Nase has Rosacea ...plus has a book coming out which is available on line.  There are also photos. of his red face on-line, also.  This book which is dealing with 'actual' Rosacea & not just trying to cover it up etc.... is due out in a few weeks.  He's been there - and knows what we feel. If you would like his web site..his facial photos. & about his book - please let me know.  I am sorry for sounding harsh - but, as You know,; this is so frustrating.  Sincerely.
