Im an 18 year old male. I first started washing my face at age 15. Everything was good until I got cocky and didnt wash my face for a whole year. I never had a problem with acne I just washed my face to prevent getting it. So When I was 16 I started to wash my face again. I was using a new cleanser every few weeks. It was drying my skin out and I would apply a moisturizer to it. I was also not eating healthy and not wearing sunscreen. At that time I was in the sun a few hrs daily. I would also shave with just water on my face. So the combination of these things made my face worse. Now My face is like a light pink red color. Gradually I started to take better care of my self and stook to cleansers for longer times. When I turned 17 I started a whole new part of skin care. I started excersising and eating healthy. So for the past year ive been eating and drinking healthy. But my skin has shown little improvement. I dont do drugs,smoke or drink alcohol, and have little stress. So im not sure why my skin hasnt cleared up. So I decided to see the dermatologist.I went to the dermatolagist who told me I had acne scars. which I didnt get cause I never had acne to beging with. But w/e.So I was on Klaron Lotion for 3 months. That didnt work. Then I went back last week and he said I have Rosacea. So now im using metrogel once daily. And I would like any tips or help on how to achieve CLEAR SKIN! And if anyone knows of any good supplements or vitamins I can take orally that can help my skin id love to hear it!

if the redness is all over your face, hes probably right, its rosacea. if its just over your cheeks then its probably keratosis pilaris rubra faceii which works in a different way. thats good he put you on metrogel; theres something newer and improved than metrogel which works very well for getting rid of redness called finacea, if the metrogel doesnt work for you try asking for that instead.

So how long should I stay on metrogel? And should I take a vitamin supplement? Or some kind of supplement to help clear up my skin or make my skin healthier?

is the redness just on your cheeks or all over your face? give the metrogel a couple of weeks to see if it improves your condition. I have never found any vitamin supplements beneficial for any skin issues.
