Hello, I was hoping to get a professional opinion on the best available options for my skin - I have rosacea since childhood. Its becoming more reactive with age and as a bonus I'm getting wrinkles and horrible malar bags. malar bags is the worst part of it I would really appreciate any advice, currently non-surgical only please
when my skin flushes it feels very hot but in the summer even with sunblock its very painful when it flushes, and slso sometimed its very dark red and slmosy purple in some areas, vi peels help, accutane was great, would retin a micro be good long term ?
i have mild acne rosacea (im 28) and was put on Treclin 1%/0.025% w/w gel, clindamycin 10 mg/g and tretinoin 0.25mg/g gel by my derma. Prior to this i was using the la roche posay redermic R cream mild drug store retinol which i tolerated well. I wanted to try the prescription strength to fade marks/rough skin texture. i dont have acne spots. a week in and im dry, flakey around eyes and mouth and a bit painful. will this go away as i tolerate it? also should i moisturise bf or after applying ?
I have sensative skin (mild rosacea, prone to hives & contact dermatitis). i want to use retin a .25% but it seems to really irritate my skin. I want to start slow and make my own retinol cream/lotion because I can use a lotion my skin is not allergic to like cevera. Can I mix up a batch and store it in a bottle or will pre mixing it degrade the active ingredient of the retin a rendering it ineffective? Also would you reccomend I use cream or lotion?
My skin isn't particularly sensitive; i've developed a reistance to retinol over the years but I do have mild rosacea and was told that Retin-A would aggravate it. I still want to you use it for its many benefits. How often should I use it?
I used this retinal for 3 years and then had a severe reaction starting with what looked like tracks intersecting, then burning for several weeks on and off over a three month period. This process over about 3 months now looks like I have aged by 15+ yrs. Note that I ceased using it as soon as I saw the first damage. This occurred 01/11. Now I want to know what can be done to correct the damage without causing further damage. Note that this damage also triggered rosesa. Thank you.
