Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 I know my cousin had a rash which looked a lot like severe acne and was told she had rosacea. She's never looked ruddy. Her complexion is very pale except for the rashes she gets on her face. How many ways does rosacea present itself? Are these a cluster of different disorders grouped under one heading because of the underlying unknown cause?>> when my derm said rosacea to me i was surprised because i don't have the flushhhhhhhhhhhh redness whatever just the pustules and peeling and etc. she said there are two components to rosacea: the vascular and the 'acne' may or may not go hand in hand ... i'm sure others have more more more info than i hope this helps. stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 I think " R " affects (very nice) people in different ways. I am a flusher (no not flasher!) and when not flushing, just have a slight pinkness on my cheeks and nose (used to be severe redness on cheeks and nose until I blew up half my blood vessels on my face with pulsed dye laser!). I have never had the acne component of it. In fact, I have very rarely got a spot in my life, no matter what I eat or during the teenage years. When I do get a spot, my husband actually comments on it like it is a phenomenan! (he suffers from getting spots and swellings quite frequently). So, I would agree that there are different components to " R " as at one stage I thought maybe I was misdiagnosed because everyone was talking about spots and pustules and I never got these. But, " R " makes up for it, by double dosing me with very severe flushing - so I haven't got off lightly, believe me! Well, I'm off now to look more into the possible relationships between -leaky gut syndrome - immune-mediated disorder = rosacea. Bye for now and remember - Hold your head up high. >From: staceyiseman@... >To: thepeckovers@..., rosacea-support >Subject: Re: Re: Immune-mediated disorder & LGS >Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 17:12:18 EDT > > > >I know my cousin had a rash which looked a lot like severe acne and was >told she had rosacea.
