Guest guest Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Hi All: Having been on Doxycycline for 4 weeks and using Metrogel and Nizorel for 8 weeks I thought I had my rosacea and seb/derm just about under control. The redness had gone and most of the flakiness. Yesterday I awoke with a dime-size red spot on one cheek. Before I went to bed last night the spot had GROWN to the size of a pingpong ball. This morning I awake to find it even larger. It is very red and also swollen. The texture of the skin inside the red spot is sort of rough. Is this typical of the way redness appears? Also, I find that this spot is very hot to touch. It feels as though I have fever in one cheek. My husband felt both my cheeks and he was amazed at the difference in temperature. Is this unusual? I'm still trying to find my triggers. I don't think I've eaten anything out of the ordinary. I sculpt in polymer clay and I wonder if I could be allergic to the clay. I know it sounds as though I'm 'grasping at straws' but I want to explore any possible connection. How frustrating this is. Anyone else use polymer clay? I've discarded the idea that the rosin from my fiddle bow could be a trigger as I stopped playing for a week and saw no difference. I also noted that on the day preceding my flare-up there was yellow pollen all over my car when I was out. I wonder.... sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
