Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 Welcome Annette! I too have had cea from a young age. I'm sure most of us have had comments from people about our faces too. This is one of my personal bugbears. What on earth gives people the right to think they can comment on a persons face?!?! You would'nt hear people going up to someone in a wheelchair and saying " You're looking pretty paralysed today " , or going up to someone with cancer and saying " God, you look like you're about to drop dead! " (sorry if i offend anyone!) So why do they do it to us! The worst part of it is, it's not really something we can hide. I wish people would think for a moment before they made these comments. They don't realise the damage they do to our self esteem. *climbs down off soapbox* Good luck with finding something to control your cea. the group is a wonderful supportive group, and always full of suggestions!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 i agree! to a degree though. i truly don't think that most people say things and intend to be hurtful. just the other day a co-worker said to me while i was in the breakroom " gee syd, you look red in the face " to which i replied (with a smile) " my face is always red " . i've worked with this guy for 9 months! he is a good friend (workwise) and likes me, thinks i do a great job, etc... maybe something i wore made me stand out more that day? who knows. anyway.........just my little experience! it did make me feel crappy though. i still think about it and wonder how many people are thinking it but not saying anything. bye!!! syd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 I think it's just ignorance on behalf of the people who ask questions about the redness of our faces. Most people have no idea what rosacea is. If they realized how much our redness tormented us they wouldn't ask such questions. Barry > Welcome Annette!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 >>>> I look forward to talking to and hearing from people who understand what it's like to be approached by total strangers who tell you that " you're really wearing too much rouge this morning " .<<<< Usually, I say that I have a skin disease, and that tends to be enough to stop (and embarass) the average person. I have noticed that I tend to get the comments when I'm not wearing foundation, like a day off when I might just run an arrand or two. So my choices are 1.) wear foundation daily or 2.) get the comments daily. Yes, it sucks, and how I react all depends on my mood. Some days, I let it roll off me and other days, I feel like everyone is staring. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 The worst thing is, the second anyone says anything about my being red, the redder I get in response....Sometimes trying to see the humor in the whole predicament does help me. And yesterday, I was able to " talk myself through " a somewhat difficult situation with a salesperson and get a flush to dissipate; a lot of my flushing has to do with a weird self-esteem/shame problem, not even simply what I'd call " stress. " I would love to know how to get past it on a permanent basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 - Your note really made me crack up. Thanks. I do not think people say things maliciously. Sometimes I tell people that I have a skin disease called rosacea and explain what it is. It makes me feel like I've unloaded a huge burden to tell others this rather than keep it all inside.
