Hi, I need serious help. I have recently been getting RED THROBBING FLUSHED face, its driving me insane, and on top of this i am sweating 24/7 palms, buttocks, armpits back EVERYWHERE non stop, its so embarrassing all of this, when I'm around people it randomly comes up and if im at meeting i need to shake peoples hands and before i do that i need to wipe my hands on my pants....... honestly this is ruining my life. I want it all to end its driving me insane. Please, any advice as to what is going on? OH and its only winter, when its summer this is 200x worse. My GF always tells me my body is REALLY hot, but i dont have a high fever or anything its very strange. Please help.
I Have went to a dermo and she told me there is nothign she can do, but its BS!!!!!!!!!!! I cant live like this! I havea doc apointment in 2 weeks! No one listenins to me or takes me serious its driving me insane i know my body and i know when there is something seriously wrong, and there is!!!
That's strange. Increased sweating and skin redness are very rare side effects according to the Wikipedia page, but I can't find anything about long-term or permanent redness and sweating.
Another possibility is that you have lupus, but you're not displaying the characteristic butterfly-like rash and you haven't mentioned anything about remission. I don't want to get you hypochondriac, but I'm just raising possibilities to talk to your doctor with.
Shampoo? I do see that the shampoo im using has it but i highly doubt that its from that? I mean it happens when im doign things in a rush and get very sweaty, or drink caffeine, or eat spicy food. I do not know it is or not, but im leaning towards it not being the shampoo..?
i get the same thing sometimes...come to find it its neurological...so i take some meds sometimes to calm me because i get like that alot especially when im in a hurry or around people...
i also sweat alot, even now in winter...jus walking 2 mailbox and back...is it that bad for you too?
Hey, I have pretty much the exact same thing. I have similar triggers to you (spicy food, anxiety) and sometimes it just happens for no reason at all.
It's reaaaalllyyyy frustrating but it can get better. I highly suggest you visit the Rosacea Forum page, you can read about treatments that have worked for people with the same symptoms as you.
Here's a link to start off with that I found very helpful, you can even print it off and bring it to your next doctors appointment:

I think the first thing you should focus on is getting your anxiety under control, because the redness/flushing/blotchiness as well as the sweating is most likely triggered by your anxiety. I always keep a bottle of cold water around and I find that sipping on it keeps my body cool and helps keep me calm.
It's a vicious cycle: The more you feel anxious about it, the more it happens. The more it happens, the more you feel anxious. It may feel like you're the only one with this problem but trust me, its more common than you think!
Hmmm.. did you have these side effects before or during Accutane treatment
I know I read that some people react to Accutane and they develop something called steroid induced rosacea
It can take years to go away (if ever) but I know there are things you can use to get it under control.
Perhaps search into that
Good luck!
