Re: Could a Child have cea?

[Guest guest]

Sherry,

The answer is yes. A child can have rosacea. However I do not believe

that rosacea is conclusive in the case of your daughter, particularly

given her recent health problems. I highly recommend having her

tested, including bloodwork and 24 hour urinalysis, to rule out other

conditions such as carcinoid, which can also cause facial flushing.

My 12 year old has had a flushed face off and on for a while now.

She had a high fever over a month ago and her face has been red since

and it's not going away. Could this be rosacea. The information I

have read says adults get it between the age of 40-60. CAn a child

get it.

I had it starting at the age of 14. I agree that you should take your

child to a doctor to rule out any other conditions.

Take care,
