You're aware that " blood tests " can't reveal what we don't know to

look for, and they sure can't reveal cancer that will develop 10

years in the future.

For non-rosaceans it may be only a minor flush. But for many

rosaceans, a minor flush often turns into a major flush, if not an

actual trigger.

Nightrun, can you explain why you think melatonin products may be

helpful to rosaceans? Are you thinking that tanned skin is less

sensitive to the sun, and so better for rosaceans than using

sunblock -- and melatonin is one way to obtain tanned skin without

being out in the sun? (I understand the theoretical link between

tanned skin and protecting against skin cancer, but not rosacea.)
