ranting

[Guest guest]

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!
