baths, curries etc is this lymphedema?

[Guest guest]

I have noticed, even after having a warm bath my face is swollen. I have to be

careful before going out as it seems so long before the swelling goes down. Also

after many of the " classic " rosacea triggers ie curries my face changes shape

instantly, any topicals cause great facial swelling. I can eat a bagel, and yep,

five minutes later I have a swollen face. If I cry my eyelids stay swollen for

a week- just doesn't seem normal. Does this happen to anyone else?.

Does this mean I have rosacea lymphedema? - I know you guys aren't derms but

seem to know more!- I have been diagnosed as having the edema component of

rosacea, but I understand lymphedema and edema are differ in definition.
