Rosacia

My eye doctor told me I have Rosacia. He Rx me with
tetracycline 250mg caps, 1 per day (antibiotic) also
I must bathe my eyes with a washcloth soaked in very hot water for a few minutes each AM and then, with a
Q-tip and a liquid called »Ocusoft« scrub the lids.
It must be working because I am not tear-ing as
much and the red is less but he says I will have to keep on doing it for-ever or it will come back...

Acne rosacea; acne erythematosa; vascular and follicular dilation involving the nose and contiguous portions of cheeks: may vary from very mild but persistent erytherma to extensive hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands with deep-seated papules and pustules of the affected erythematous sites.

I have this condition for nearly 25 yrs. I tried almost every product on the market. I am now being treated by a physician.

i have bumps on my face, spreading down onto my chin but they are not really red. They do itch. My Dr. has diagnosed it as rosacia. I thought rosacia was more red and I didn't think it itched. any help?

I constantly have an itchiness and red around my nose, eyes, cheeks and chin. I always thought it was bad acne. I recently had the worst outbreak I have ever come across. My face was bright red all over, it itched like crazy, and unfortunatley no moisturizers or vitamin E did anything for me. I blamed it on constant stress and 50 hours a week of working in hot, greasy kitchens. My friend told me it was rosacia and to look up symptoms on the computer. To me it looks like noone knows what the hell is making me so ugly.
