Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Someone above mentioned the horrible 95 degree weather we've been having in NJ area...this has wreaked complete havoc on my skin as well! I have a feeling Zinco is sliding off in the humidity the second i walk out of the door..i'm even skipping classes cuz i can't bear to walk outside for fear of becoming totally pink. considering the pores on my nose are enlarged and im sweating like crazy out of them im pretty sure the zinco is comign right off. does anyone have this problem? would putting on powder over it help set it? also, i feel like i've had a continual nose flush the past 3 days...it feels like it's never going to go down! i'm worried that parts of my nose are going to start swelling..i could swear the tip was but that could just be me and my overanalyticalness and oversensitivy! i just hate the constant warm feeling in my nose, especially in the tip of it..im going to try nasalcrom tomorrow..i really hope this helps. who ever heard of a 19 year old girl getting rhinophyma! I'm really scared..does anyoen else have any advice they can offer? if my nose starts growing nodules and swellling i really dont knwo what im going to do... metrocream seems to be doing nothign for the parts of my face that ive been using it on the past month; if anything, the rosacea has spread to other places on my face. I've read on ohter posts that 90% (?) of rosacea patients are able to be successfully controlled using toipicals/antibiotics..etc. yet if that's true, why do i see redfaced people EVERYWEHRE i go (im on a college campus so i walk by tons of people dailiy)...im wondering whtether they;re just accustomed to their red skin and dont seek help, or if they just havent found treatment to be effective either. hm. and why aren't more people on this board? have they just had luck with their treatments?? or are we just a more desperate sort? =) all i can say is that i feel like rosacea is ruining my life. it's totally butchered my self confidence and i'm even reconsidering what kind of job field i want to go into later on for fear that i cant be in a career wherei 'll have to make presentations and people will see my red face all day long. ..i hate to let rosacea control my life but all i can really do is pray and hope to God that this condition disappears or goes into remission or something... When are those NO inhibitors coming out! ahh!! i almost feel like i should study medicine so that i can go out there and start researching NO myselfto hurry the process along! =P i guess all i can do is wait, i have a dermatologist appt next week..as well as an eye appointment for the blepharitis i recently developed (that im SURE is attributed to rosacea) it's my birthday and i should be out having fun but i cant think about anythign except how my skin is disgusting and my nose is all warm and likely to start growing to monstrous proportions! ok done ranting..i feel a little better..also, just want u all to know that i'm glad youre out there and that i'm praying for you daily! tiffany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not maintenance treatment; most rosaceans have exacerbations and remissions. Chronic diseases can never be controlled, but they can be successfully managed. > yet if that's true, why do i see redfaced people EVERYWEHRE i go >(im on a college campus so i walk by tons of people dailiy)...im > wondering whtether they;re just accustomed to their red skin and > dont seek help, or if they just havent found treatment to be > effective either. You're right, humans blush and flush all the time. I also see people with reddish faces everywhere I go. In my experience, people with a good sense of self and maturity are the only ones immune to these physical sensitivities. ly, I admire those traits more than I admire physical beauty.
