Hi everyone

Really good to know that you're here.

I don't know whether i'm suffering from rosacea or seb.derm - doctors are

unsure. Whatever it is, my face is prone to flare ups, is very sensitive, red

and flaky. I can only wash with warm water, and most moisturisers seem to

irritate my skin. I stick with Aqueous cream, but this doesn't always help.

I was interested by some of the comments about ageing. I'm 31, male, and the

lines around my eyes seem to be rapidly advancing - beyond my years. Does

rosacea -seb derm accelerate the ageing process? This isn't the main issue. I

can live with lines. I just wish the redness would go away.

Any tips on moisturisers greatly welcome.

Love and solidarity. .

Don't let anyone put you on cortisone, or you will definitely have

problems. For a moisturizer, try small amounts of jojoba oil, just a

few drops each time, spread gently with moist fingers. Avoid sun

exposure and try to find a very gentle sunscreen to apply very

lightly each day. You don't want any more sun damage.

Reads like part of the condition might well be seb derm. Nizoral

cream (Rx) resolved my SD. If you resolve the flaking you might try a

thin coat of ZincO over the moisturizing oil. You can order it from

Dr. Sy's web site, which should be in the Bookmarks section at

the cea-Support yahoo site. URL is below.
