icarusAha! Did a little online research about rosecea. One of the things suggested was to wear sunscreen.
I've worn sunscreen two days now (a not-kidding-around SPF 45). The pink on my nose is almost all gone. I think simple sunscreen is going to make a big difference.
Which is good, because while my aunt had her rosecea erased by a round of antibiotics, other people haven't had success. I'm allergic to penecillin and prefer to keep the antibiotics for more serious illnesses, if at all possible. But I'd reached the point where, if I didn't see some improvement, I was going to spring for a dermotologist.
Sunscreen. And here I've sneered at it all these years.
