question about people's flushing

[Guest guest]

I think i might have asked this question before but my memory fails

me and i dont know if i even got responses last time so i figure i'll

ask it again. Everyone speaks of flushing related to triggers (food,

stress, heat, sun, etc.) and avoidance techniques. yet i find that

aside from flushing from emotions (i'd say i'm a rather high strung

person) almost all my flushign is completely spontaneous. In Dr .

Nase';s book, he says people with severe rosacea will have such

problems as the spontaneous and random flushing.. but i have mild

rosacea with just slightly pink cheeks yet my flushing comes and goes

so easily. and almost always, the flushing isnt even on my cheeks,

it's this weird warmth on the sides of my nose and directly under the

nostrils. these areas (after many of these weird flushed " Warm "

feelings) the past month or so are now permanently pink.

i always thought that i had compromised capillaries becuase i've

always been a big blusher..and then i had a beta lift peel on my

entire face (recommended by a derm for some little pimples on my

forehead last summer --Before i had rosacea) which i believed

contributed to R in the first place. but why does this explain how my

ears are also now really sensitive, sometimes if i scratch the back

it leads to an ear flush. i know ears are rather sensitive in the

first place but everything that happens always disproves all the

theories i have. for instnace, when i pluck my eyebrows they feel

numb and look pink afterwards, when that area of the skin isnt even a

part that would have been affected by the beta lift or bouts of

emotional flushing in the past. and i know i dont have that much sun

damage or anything that woudl contribute to weak

capillaries/sensitive skin there. i have used mild cleansers and

moisturizers for 6 months now. recently i also have some forehead

flushing which i feel is related to my blepharitis worsening... i

never had headaches till i started developing eye problems. and when

my eyes feel pretty bad my forehead starts feeling warm... weird i

know.

so does anyoen else have these weird warm flushes around the sides

and bottom of their nostrils? just wondering. it seems like most of

you , especially those with mild to moderate rosacea have flushing

that is usually trigger-related . why is my skin so ODD!! grr

on a side note, i know this question has been asked a billion

times..but what is a good moisturizer that will soothe flakes and

dryness?? the flaking , tightness and itchiness that comes and goes

is driving me nuts. but it's hard to find good info in the archives

when u have really basic search terms like " flakiness "

and " moisturizer " etc. and a million posts come up. =) so if anyone

has more good advice thanks in advance.
