Hi

I don't mean to be a bother but I read your post regarding your skin care and

just wondering if I have your approach confused with carrie's

You use the Toleriane stuff?? and Noritate once a day?

Did you mention your sunscreen? ANd what about your foundation. Thanks for the

reply to my question about rosacea staying as facial redness. My face has been

like this fo 12 years since I first hear that awful word.

Now it seems as if I have seborrhea as well. The derm was not very helpful on

how or why this happened. He did not give me anything on the rosacea which he

did say that i had because of the flush pattern.

In you opinion as a rosacean, do you think that I should start using my Noritate

even though I don't have pimples. Will the Noritate help to keep the rosacea as

redness and not develop into the pimples? I tried to ask the derm all these

questions, I had them all written down in my note book but he kept standing up

and grabbing the door knob.

And if, I have not asked too much already, what are your views, on usinf this

topical which he prescribed

1 part Nizoral to 1 part cortisone. He explained that the 1% cortisone had

really no meaning in reagrds to mildness becasue it all depended on the base or

the size of the molecule. By this time, I was practically holding onto his coat

tails as he tried to bolt out the door. It takes so long to get an appointment

with these guys(gals) and then they don't even take the time to answer your

questions. I know that I was diagnosed some 12years ago but I am no more coping

with this now as I was then, But now it is complicated by the aging process. I

will be 51 in a few months.

ANyway, I do appreciate your posts as well as the posts of all the members. I

know that this may seem awful, but knowing that others have it and are doing

okay does help.

Take care

Have a great day

Regards
