In Topic: Rosacea Or Something Else?

So I went to the derm today and showed him the above pics. He wants me to stop the Finacea, and start taking Zyrtec daily. He also gave me some Cloderm (a topical cortosteriod) to apply the the bumps when they appear.

 

Not sure how I feel about this but I guess I will give it a try. Just frustrates me that I can't get a straight diagnosis.

 

makethatchange, thanks for the recommendation. I will pick up that mask and give it a shot.

So I've been on Finacea for two months and have still been usingn the Solodyn daily (80mg). There hasn't been much improvement. I head back to the derm at the end of the month. Hopefully I can get this figured out.

Here are some update pics. The second pic is from my stomach. I am starting to get these bumps on my chest and stomach. Attached File  IMG_02211.jpg   90.45K   0 downloadsAttached File  IMG_02411.jpg   74.15K   0 downloads

So the new cleanser and added lotion seemed to have help. I am still getting red bumps but they no longer itch and have red blotches around them.

Can anyone recommed a topical for the bumps? They are papule like and occasionally develop tiny whiteheads. They always come and go within three days and never leave a scar or pigmentation.

I'm not using any topicals at the moment. Just switched my face was from cetaphil to cerave. I had also stopped moisturizing since it has been very humid but i am back to using complex 15.

I have been on solodyn 80mg for about a year. It seems to aggravate my condition. Doc said it should help with it which is a bit confusing.

If the new face wash with added moisturizer doesn't work I mIght look for a new Derm. Can't wait this out for 3 months.

So if I don't have persistant redness/flushing then it can't be rosacea? If so, what could it be. I must have looked at descriptions and pics of every skin condition and nothing seems to match what I have Posted Image
