Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hi group, long time reader, first time writer... I've had rosacea for several years, and have kept it in decent check (not perfect, but often ok), but over the past several months have developed what I can only describe as " plugs " in my pores where I have rosacea. I say plugs, because that's what they look like: little blackheads topping the pores, but with nothing underneath. I've had severe acne a few times in my life, and these just don't look like the pimples I'm used to dealing with. They come off with just a flick of the fingernail, and leave a small, occassionally bloody hole. My question is: is this typical acne rosacea, or something else? Also, it seems like if I could just exfoliate my face, they'd go away, but I've never found an exfoliant that didn't irritate the living hell out of my ultra-sensitive skin (salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide seem to be absolute no-go's). Does anybody have any ideas how I might clear up these plugs?? Thanks, Landon _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
