Re: a spanish suffer girl

[Guest guest]

Amelia, do you agree that your daughter's nose is " mutant, " or do you

think the small amount of swelling is exaggerated in her eyes? It's

universal for teenagers to feel self-conscious and focus on any

physical imperfection.

She probably doesn't realize that many people have facial edema,

especially early in the morning, and especially as we age.

Unfortunately, it takes very little fluid to make the eyes and

central face appear swollen; the eyelids are usually the most

noticeable, but the rest of the central face suffers too. It's a

common complaint, not just with rosaceans.

There's no specific treatment I know of, beyond managing the

underlying vascular and inflammatory components of rosacea. Some

people find elevating the entire head and upper body during sleep

helps, but she shouldn't sacrifice a good sound night's sleep by

lying in an uncomfortable position.

Good luck,

Marjorie

Low dose accutane will shrink the mutant nose... I don't believe we

use this specific terminology in English speaking countries, but it

will shrink rhinophyma.
