I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 rosacea after a bad flareup (trigger is sun). I was put on Doxy a month ago and havent had a flare up since. My biggest issue is random daily & sometimes intense burning (without flush or any pronounced redness). Travels randomly around my face (neck arms too). I have anxiety-curious if the burning is related to that or rosacea. Burns in strange places incl. the hairline and my jaw. Does this sound like a symptom of rosacea? Would laser be helpful for me?
