Pics taken with iPhone, so not the best quality

 

Also I was wondering what this redness around my nose and around my forehead/ in b/w my eyebrows is

it's sort of rough/bumpy

The pics don't capture it that well

It looks more rash like than acne

Have had it for quite a long time and it varies in redness

depending on like the temperature foods I've eaten, time of day,

sunscreen seems to somewhat mask it

 

My nose is always kind of swollen and the pores are largish

 

is this some type of dermatitis?

Plain acne

Or could it be the beginning of rosacea? Which my dad has although its a mild case

 

 

I had fraxel laser about 2 months ago hoping to fade the scars, seemed to have faded by like 20%

 

 

I'm looking into the dermaroller

 

 

Things I use right now

Clindamycin phosphate gel - dermatologist have me said it would be god for redness

Epiduo- ( Ben perox + adapalene) been holding off on it since laser

Neutrogena- men's sunscreen

Trader joe's antioxidant moisturizer

Had been taking doxycycline hcl 200 mg as well throughout the year but stopped b/c antibiotics aren't good for u I guess

 

Just started apple cider vinegar- drinking and applying

 

I also have been using a little of shiseido's liquid foundation SPF 42 on my nose, masks the pores and redness very well

but I really want to get this under control

 

It seems like I don't really have acne anymore

 

 

regarding the scars

Most are just red marks

one area on my left cheek is indented/pitted

 

 

The dermaroller got good reviews but is it ok for just red marks?

 

 

Thanks a lot !

 

The redness dies down a bit after I take showers also and put on lotion

 

even though I end on cold for my showers
