s getting to the point where I really need help, because it affects my self-esteem. I think it is adult acne and rosacea, but not sure. I was hoping somebody could tell me what it is and if this could be treated with laser and if the insurance would likely pay for it (united). I don't like the idea of taking antibiotics over a long term. Thanks a lot.
My mom and I researched it and were convinced it was rosacea, but I went to a dermatologist and she said it was acne scars and put me on all of this treatment. But I'm still stuck on the rosacea thing, because I just can't understand how all of these "acne scars" would have popped up overnight and spread around.And I have ZERO pimples on my face, it's just redness and spots. So isn't it pointless to put me on acne medication? I can post pictures if needed.
I went to a dermatologist and they said that i might have dermatitis or acne rosacea. So they gave me a wash called rosula, and locoid lipocream (hydrocortisone butyrate .1%) to use morning and night. I have used both for a few days but i dont think i see any progress. Would a facial serum help strengthen my facial skin? Is the medication they gave me the right stuff? Are these signs of prerosacea?
Thank you so much for your reply. I've looked online at infections (staph,fungal,bacterial) and also at rosacea, it doesn't look the same. Like I said I've been to 3 doctors and they didn't know or didn't care because they kind of just pushed me out. I've had the topical creams (isotretinoin) for redness and different pills for acne (Nothing Has Helped) at all, I get dry but nothing fades or changes, even after months of usage. I look like i have a mask cheeks and chin.
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be rosacea. Rosacea is a cutaneous disorder primarily of convexities of the central part of the face , such as forehead; cheeks ;nose; and chin. Pimples are sometimes included as part of the definition.
Treatment options vary from antibiotic creams,antihistaminics,sun screens to laser treatment.A dermatologist’s evaluation will be the best.
Hope it helps.
Hi Dr. I'm a 27 yr old female. I went to my dermatologist today because my cheeks have been red for the past couple of days. I also have some hair loss, fatigue, and my feet get cold. I have a low thyroid and I was told those were symptoms of my hypothyroidism. My question is the redness of my face is flat, on both cheeks, and doesn't have acne on it. I don't think that's a symptom of hypothyroidism. I'm scared it could be a lupus malar rash.
I was diagnosed with a steriod induced rosacea, my question is this, will there be continual break outs while on treatment? I've been on treatment for a little over 2 weeks and it seems as if my face is getting bad again. It has not completly cleared up but is about 75% better then what it was before I was diagnosed. I am no longer on the steroid, off for 2 weeks now but am having "acne" if you will, breaking out still.
Hi. What is your son's diagnosis? If he has acne or rosacea a course of oral antibiotics from his doctor may be effective.
Clinique have lauched a new range of products called Redness Solutions. Using their cleanser and moisturiser will reduce visable redness of the face. I also recommend Eucerin's Redness Relief cleanser and moisturiser, which is a bit less expensive.
My acne consists of stubborn non-inflamed acne as well, but I was under the impression that non-inflamed acne remains colorless (well white or black comedones) until it becomes inflamed. An esthetician attempted to extract the bump that was injected but it just proceeded to get bigger and stay under the skin. Do you have any ideas for me?
Hi, I'm a 25 year old female who has been struggling with acne and itchy skin for 5 years now. I've been to several dermatologists that debate the diagnosis of Rosacea or just sensitive skin. I've been on all types of topicals and antibiotics with no relief from the itch. My face itches and feels tight practically everyday and seems to come and go in bursts of intensity. Some days it feels completely normal and then instantly becomes itchy and tight feeling.
Hello,
Unfortunately the pictures could not be opened but from the symptoms, rosacea needs to be ruled out. Rosacea is a cutaneous disorder primarily of the central part of the face , such as forehead; cheeks ;nose; and chin.
I agree with your dermatologist that in the absence of lupus, rosacea is an important possibility to be ruled out and you need to get a biopsy skin done to confirm the diagnosis.
Around 15, I took accutane and that fully cleared it up (along with acne). Once off, the Acne stayed away but the red, itchy, flaking dermatitis returned. From around 16-21 the flaking was contained to the sides of my nose. Now, at 24, it has moved to my eyebrows and toward my cheeks. My dermatologist has kept me on a regime of part cortisone lotion, part anti-fungal lotion since I was 18. While this seems to lessen the dermatitis, the flaking is still persistant, and seems to come in cycles.
Can you tell me if Steroid-Induced Rosacea will every go away completely? I was prescribed a fluocinonide solution for a small patch on my face. Now that I have stopped it completely, small bumps have appeared where I was putting the topical solution. The doctor now prescribed Doxycyline for 1 month and Metrogel 1%. There has been improvement, but very slowly with 2 flare ups so far. It has been two weeks since I stopped the steroid completely.
Will it ever go away?
Could be adult acne. Could be folliculitis from heat and sweat. Pimples only produce clear juice if you squeeze them, and that always keeps things from healing. So please leave them alone and have a doctor check them out before you decide that these aren't regular pimples. They sound pretty regular to me.
Take care.
Dr.
