clonidine for facial flushing

I am 18 years old and have suffered from constant facial flushing for the last 2 years. In the last month or so, my nose has been almost constantly red and the skin on it is in much worse condition than the rest of my face. There are small white pustules on it and it feels very rough. I want to ask if you think this could be rhinophyma or rosacea because everywhere on the Internet it says that rosacea is a condition that only affects middle-aged people.

I've had a few episodes of facial flushing and I want to know if this is allergy related.

I've been terrified of carcinoid syndrome!

Hi I am new here, still trying to get diagnosed, waiting on test results, but am wondering if anyone out there gets facial flushing?

Mine is directly connected to my weight. I gain weight, my bp goes up. Not great as I'm an emotional eater. So, it's a battle.

As far as your facial and neck flushing, there could be a variety of causes, for example, medications or alcohol intake. If this is a concern for you, I would place a call to your doctor on Monday and speak to him/her about it and see if they want to do any lab work or for them to see you. This way, you can allay your anxiety by talking to the right person that can do something about it.
