,

I just asked my new derm # 5, i think, if I was a good candidate for

the laser. I to have moderate to mild redness but uncontrollable

swelling and it is progressing. She told me i wasnt bad enough. How

bad do you have to be? I want to stop it before it gets bad. Go

figure.

And no, I got this when I was 29 , now 32 and it doenst get any

easier to deal with. MAYBE if I got it at 60, i could deal. Not 29,

30 or 19.

Good luck.
