Skin background - long history of seb derm / rosacea involving a variety of topicals (antifungals, corticosteroids, etc.) applied to the skin above my upper lip. The below pictures show a red line with visible white spots (black arrows) on the vermilion border of my upper lip. The red line is slightly raised and hard relative to the surrounding areas. The skin is slightly ridged (see green circles), and the ridges encompass and extend upward from the dots / redness. Thank you.
It's been 3 months since this nightmare began. I had my face done with Radiesse and am having persistent swelling and redness under my eyes after very bad bruising. I completed trusted my PS - bad move. The Dr has started to try Gemini laser but they are not leaving. Will these lasers help? What is happening? I'm finding it hard to trust him now and feel like he's brushing me off. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
I recently (2wks) had laser skin resurfacing with and some fillers for my eyes and labial folds. My eyes however are still very sensitive and it looks like I have liquid filled sacs under my eyes. Is this normal
My derm diagnosed me with Rosacea. I have been on metro cream and three different antibiotics. He recently prescribed Tretinoin .025%. Im terrified it will make my condition worse. Ive heard it causes swelling and can actually cause the problems I am having now. Have you ever heard of prescribing tret for Rosacea? Do you recommend or should I seek another opinion?
The doctor had to numb my face just below my eyes to do the procedure because of my tolerance to pain. The left side has gotten the bruise over the last two days and now swelling seems worse with discomfort/slight pain. It is Saturday, should I go to the doctor Monday or emergency room tommorrow? The right side is fine. Please advise.
I had laser resurfacing 4 days ago and apart from the pain that i have this morning i woke up with what i believe is a rash all over my chin and cheeks , im so itchy but at the same time Im in pain and very red, hot and swollen. Is this normal?? , I dont know what to do :( ....Please help !!!!! thanks
