Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 " Edema. Edema may accompany or follow prolonged facial erythema or flushing. Sometimes soft edema may last for days or be aggravated by inflammatory changes. " I have read this before and was curious as to what it meant by edema being aggravated by inflammatry changes, does that just mean that anything that causes inflammation ie wind, cosmetics will cause edema? I like this classification because I think it suggestes every symptom I have - it's nice to know that these are being acknowldeged as rosacea symptoms now. A few years ago I was told most of the symtoms I have which correlate nicely with the ones in the classification list were absolutely nothing to do with rosacea- I have a good mind to send this list to the three derms that said this to me! --------------------------------- Sign up to watch the FIFA World Cup video highlights from your desk! http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/fc/en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
