Ice Packs helped me

[Guest guest]

I have been suffering from rosacea for about 4 years now. This

condition really put a strain on my life as I am only 21. I am on

antibiotics and topical creams and am also undergoing laser treatment

for the broken capillaries for my face. I've had 5 treatments and

might require another 2 or so. Yet all these treatments didnt seem to

help much until i started icing my face with icepacks. I use it

whenever i feel that burning sensation in my face and start to heat

up, I immediately apply an icepack in a thin towel onto my face and

it calms down. Mind you have about 10 icepacks in the fridge on

standby, hence as time goes by I need the icepacks less and less and

for the last couple of months I have flushed up at all. Its helped me

so much and it feels good to know that I can cool down real quickly.

Also for the ladies suffering from rosacea and wear makeup: Do you

eber apply makeup when you're all red and swollen looking? Then the

makeup doesnt do much as it actually looks like your face is trying

to swallow your makeup? I had this problem and found great relief in

icing my face before I applied the makeup.
