Since the age of 25 (I'm now 29) I started developing Rosacea. If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't have figured it out, because most doctors suck.
At first I was just getting these dark red marks just beside my nose, under my eyes. they would actually scab up, and over the weeks I would look like I'd aged ten years.
I put two and two together when I realized alchohol and coffee make my skin burn and turn red, all up around my forehead, and upper cheeks.
I've now cut out most booze, coffee, increased my water intake and what not. For a long time I healed up and my face looked good again.
I won't go into all the details of mild rosacea as Im sure you all know.
Lately (last 3 months) I've had these new consistent symptoms. Dry, thick, almost swollen looking, shiny upper cheeks that are very red compared to my eyes and also very porous, with open, clear pores. Its like a thick, but thin darkish scab has been building up on my cheeks, drying right out and making me look saggy, and much older than my usual youthful appearance. It almot looks swollen.
I don't know if this is beause of the dryness, but my igh eye, the one with the line, is always lookig sunken in, with a big circle around it.
My right eye constantly feels tight under the skin and a long line has formed, due to such dryness, running down from my eye to my cheek. It like a transparent scab. I don't think this is natural aging process. It looks like a regular age line, the V shape that forms under the eye...only it's much too early.
I don't know if wrinkle creams and stuff really work.
What do I do!!
Thankkk yooouu!
