Possible rosacea diagnosis

[Guest guest]

How can I know for sure that I have rosacea? My family practice doctor seems

to think so, but I'm not sure. I have had ruddy skin/rosy cheeks since I was

a child. I have always thought that the reason I blush/flush easily from hot

baths, etc., was just because I have fair skin. Certain products and

cosmetics have always irritated my skin. Again, I assumed this was because I

just had fair, sensitive skin. (As does my entire family.) I am trying

Noritate for two months to see if any of the ruddiness goes away. If I do

have rosacea I wouldn't want my ruddiness to get worse than it is now nor

develop other symptoms. I am a new member and have learned a lot by reading

hundreds of past posts. Thanks to all.
