Seborrheic Dermatitis.

Well I believe I've come to the realization that I also have Seb Derm on top of Rosacea and acne. I suppose it would explain why my face is always bloody red and has been for quite some time. Now I really don't know that much about Seb Derm but my Dermatologist did prescribe me a med for it (although he didn't even tell me I had it).

I was wondering if anyone here had any stories or tips to share about Seb Derm. I was also wondering if there are any OTC products that could be used to help this skin disease.

The facial redness and Rosacea forum is here!

Hello everyone! I hope you are excited as I am to talk about this sore subject!

Rosacea and facial redness is a very popular topic these days because so many people have it. Nearly 40 million people in the world suffer from facial redness and Rosacea, so believe me, you're not alone on this.

Rosacea and facial redness are slightly different so let me describe to you the difference between the both.

Facial redness is when you have a normal everyday blush or when you have been exposed to extremely cold/hot weather or maybe even used a harsh product that your face doesn't agree with. There are many other triggers but those are just the few common ones. Everyone has their own triggers because everyone is different.

Rosacea is slightly different and slightly more serious, but no more less self degrading than facial redness. There are many different types of Rosacea but I will describe to you the most common. When having a flushing/blushing episode your face will normally become red with no other feeling other than slight hotness in your cheeks. If you have Rosacea when you have that flush there will be a small or maybe a large amount of pain and burning with that same effect. Also most of the time your violent facial flushing will break your blood vessels over time, that's when most people get their general facial redness even when not flushed. There are many triggers that activate Rosacea. A few are: Cold/Hot weather or food, Stress, Anxiety, Embarrassment or maybe even intense light.

Granted there are many ways of treating both of these similar problems there has not been a cure yet for Rosacea. There are many different thing people have done to treat it though. Changing diet has worked for some; using LED arrays have had success; doing laser treatments can work wonders too for many, but not all. Facial redness that is not Rosacea is generally your environment or what you may be doing to yourself to aggravate your face. On over abundance of products can be a large factor. I know Tazorac can make your face generally red when first starting the treatment. Diet can be related as well as many other things.

Another type of general facial redness that isn't Rosacea is Dermatitis. There are many different types of Dermatitis and most have to goto a doctor to get a proper diagnosis.



If anyone has any questions regarding Rosacea I would be more than happy to speak with them over a Private Message or here on the board. I have had activated Rosacea ever since the end of my Accutane course. Since then I've been studying the problem throughly.


Merry Christmas everyone and have a happy facial-redness-free day!

How to do a liver flush?

I'd like to do a liver flush! I came off of accutane about 4 months ago and I always heard it was good to do a liver flush right afterwards. Although... I have no idea how to do this. I've heard there are many ways but the most common way will do for me.

Help me!



Thanks!

On Tazorac; skin is peeling?

Well I've been on and off with Tazorac because I keep getting the feeling it's making my rosacea worse. I just started back up about 1 week ago or so and my skin is pealing pretty bad. If I run my fingernail down my face it will tear off skin as I go down.

Is this the result of Tazorac? If so should I apply less to make sure that doesn't happen?
