Guest guest Posted February 1, 2002 Report Share Posted February 1, 2002 Another question?? I read somewhere that a skin biopsy was the only sure way to tell if a person has rosacea? is this true? if so, what does the skin biopsy reveal about rosacea skin which makes it so different from regular normal skin? I have never had one but I have had different and conflicting opinions from derms on whether or not I have rosacea. I guess where I don't have the flares, that some would dismiss rosacea. What do you think other derms have seen that would lead them to believe that I have rosacea? Take care Have a relaxing weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2002 Report Share Posted February 1, 2002 Hello I once had a derm suggest I have a biopsy. I don't know why and wasn't for it. I felt that although only a few areas of my face flare and swell, and I'm not your " typical " rosacea patient, that I shouldn't have to convince him of any thing. My eyes get iritated and I get hot and sweaty sitting still and using the phone. I don't even try to analyse derms any more. > Another question??
