Avatar n tn I am a black woman who was diagnosed with rosacea and I think I also have hypothyroidism but my doctor will not diagnose the thyroid condition. My question is can blacks get rosacea and is rosacea a symptom of hypothyroidism?
Avatar n tn I have hypothyroidism and rosacea. My doc started me on levoxyl about 3 years ago. Within about 2 months, I was diagnosed with Rosacea. I finally made the connection about 1 year ago that maybe it was the levoxyl making my face so red, so I stopped taking it. And sure enough my face stopped being so red. But, I really need the thyroid meds so my doc had me take synthroid, this made my face red again with little bumps this time.
Avatar f tn Your body is having a hard time regulating your internal thermostat which is often thyroid. See your primary care physician and have a full thyroid panel run. Also have a full Hormone panel run. Good luck!
Avatar n tn 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 had an ANA antibody test a couple of months ago and it was negative. I'm driving myself completely crazy because when I look at the pictures online both the lupus butterfly rash and rosacea look the same.
Avatar f tn 3) and have the same kind of extreme photosensitivity and facial rash. The dermatologist I went to specifically stated that this was Rosacea and also a side-effect of my skin being more permiable than most peoples because of the connective-tissue disorder. It is considered to act like an Auto-immune disorder but doesn't show up on ANA (mine is always negative when they check).
Avatar m tn During Tx I got Rosacea, now I know that before Tx I had Seborea and during the Tx it gor worsen and I got Rosacea, the Rosacea during Tx was much more severe then it is now. Rozex doesn't help, many times I have redness on the T zone on my face, the only thing that help is a little bit Elidel. Does anyone here familiar with that, I mean - to get Rosacea during Tx, does it become better after Tx ? Is it curable? Any experience with Elidel or any other medication for Rosacea ?
Avatar f tn Excerpt from the article Psoriasis, rosacea and hypothyroidism–did you know there’s a connection?... I personally had rosacea on my nose for years—my romantic “clown nose”. But just like the mother’s son and daughter with psoriasis, my rosacea eventually went away, as well, after I had started on desiccated thyroid and raised it high enough to remove my hypo symptoms.
Avatar m tn My PCP felt the TCN was causeing low vitamen D and Thyroid readings on my blood test so that is why we tryed lowering the dose- the Vitamen D and thyroid is good now but infections more common. I have appoinments to get them all working together maybe a smaller dose taken regularly is the answer .
Avatar m tn I would go to the doctor to have your thyroid hormone levels checked. Make sure you see an endocrinologist and have your TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and thyroid antibodies checked. While you are there it wouldn't hurt to also have a blood sugar test done as well, just to be on the safe side.
Avatar n tn I am 54 years old and recently had my thyroid removed due to cancer. Could my Synthroid meds be aggravating this condition. Could these blisters be facial herpes, shingles. I have had this for about 6 months. I can't get into a dermatologist until September. Help!
Avatar n tn Tetracycline, minocycline, erythromycin, and doxycycline are the most common antibiotics used to treat rosacea. Some people respond quickly, while others require long-term therapy. Isotretinoin may be considered as a treatment option for all forms of severe or therapy-resistant rosacea. Sunscreens, particularly those that protect against ultraviolet A and B light waves and have a sun-protecting factor (SPF) of 13 or higher, are recommended for all people with rosacea.

Avatar m tn Hello, I went to the dermatologist a few months ago with a red face and slight acne on my forehead. She immediately said it was rosacea and prescribed me Rhofade. It was expensive and eventually hurt more than it helped. So, I went back and she prescribed me Soolantra. That seemed to have worked for a couple of days. Now, my face is back to being completely red and burning. I'm used to blushing easily, but this occurs even when I'm sitting at home. It's constant.
Avatar f tn Thank you for your answer. I am taking antibiotics called mino 50 for ocular rosacea and fish oil and flaxseed oil supp.The reason i didn't quit my job is because i went to visit my family in Italy for three weeks my eyes became worse. I couldn't leave my house . So i thought it had nothing to do with chemicals. They have tested me for allergies , viral or bacterial problems , all negative. i am driving everybody crazy at home.
Avatar f tn An ophthalmologist has his/her education and special instruments. Rosacea usually has a rash on forehead, cheeks, nose and eyelids.
Avatar n tn I didn't ask this question on the thyroid thread because I didn't think it was a thyroid-related problem. I currently have diagnoses of: MGD, EBMD, ocular rosacea, SLK, conjunctival concretions that have protruded through and had to be removed 3x in less than a year, possible blepharospasms, swelling behind the eye due to thyroid. Oh, and add to that the rapidly changing vision. I can't get new glasses since my vision changes before the glasses can even be made.
Avatar n tn The facial left me uneven ugly texture on my cheeks, some scars, enlarged pores on my cheeks in places i never had before and rosacea which i did not have prior to the facial. My question is whether i will be able to correct these texture problems and scars in the future with fraxel or would fraxel make my skin worse since i now have rosacia.
Avatar n tn It does not occur anywhere except the area of my chest that is normally seen through a neckline opening and across my nose and a little bit of my cheeks. I am 50 years old but still have oily skin. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn However, within about six months, I noticed a thickening of the skin on my cheeks near the sides of my nose- which the dermatologist diagnosed as Rosacea. It is irreversible and I am crushed. My Clarisonic is put away, and I am never going to clean my face with anything other than mild cleanser and my fingers. The doc specifically said that any friction at all, even soft brushes, can bring on Rosacea.
Avatar n tn The bumps are like little pimples and are rough and dry. My face has general redness over the nose and cheeks (I look like I have constant sunburn). A friend thinks I may have rosacea. The symptoms I experience have not bothered me. There's no pain, itchiness, etc. But I'm wondering if there's need to worry?

615350 tn?1272598969 s done and my liver and thyroid have been checked and tests came back normal. My BP is usually low, around 90 over 75, but when I get these hot episodes it will rise to about 122 over 90. I had a CT scan of my head done and they did not find anything. While I do not run a temp during these periods my temp will rise to about 99 sometimes and sometimes it is below normal. My heart rate is normal during my hot episodes.
Avatar m tn I had seborrheic dermatitis for 7 years now and because of that i had to use Corticosteroid , but unfortunately i did not know about the side effects of that and i used it on the scalp and bear for many years , now that i am 31 i was diagnosed with rosacea, i was wondering can this be steroid induce rosacea and if yes would it go away.
Avatar f tn The acne is nodular, pustular and cystic. Painful and in the hormonal area of both sides of face and mandible. Barb135 and goolara, my doctor has mentioned the same idea in the past regarding having to possibly add more T4 but we were trying to stay away from synthetic medicine. I think now is the time to add it. The reason why I posted on here is because he hasn't called me back yet to discuss plan of attack and I wanted to know what it meant!
