I started a new job 5 months ago and after being there for two months or so I

noticed my ocular rosacea was getting worse. This move to the job coincided with

giving up Jane Iredale (finally admitted defeat, soothing but also the cause of

my itching!). I started wearing Chantecaille Future skin Foundation instead

which is possibly one of the only foundations I can use without itching. Anyway,

I do not know whether to put it down to the job (environment, stress etc) or the

make up but I can feel the burning in my face, I feel the inflammation rise and

for several months now the cheeks have been very sore to touch on a daily basis,

and the eye area. This tenderness (like if I gently scratch my cheek all the

nerves feel exposed, alive and painful) has risen up my cheeks and seems to be

affecting under my eyes. The skin around my eyes now seems to be further

implicated. When I clean my eyes I can see that there are veins, and the rim

becomes very red, the skin directly underneath my eyelashes is very tender. It

does calm down somewhat after the cleansing but I can feel it throughout the day

and if I dare to touch my cheeks or the under of my lashes...ouch! There is one

area midway along the lower lids on the skin which is very red and sore (like I

have bad sunburn in that spot which never goes away!). The inner corner of the

left eye also feels funny, like it is more prone to getting bloodshot, gummy etc

It is starting to depress me badly.

I have meibomian gland dysfunction too and my ophth want me to do warm soaks to

loosen the oils but my skin is so sore. What can I do? Any ideas for

alternatives to warm soaks?

Is my face hurting because of the rosacea? or might I have a prolonged viral

infection? When I see my doctor he never gives me answers and says he does not

know who to refer me to!!

Could my face and eyes be sore because of the foundation (but strangely without

it my face and eyes feel worse, they react more...perhaps because they are

exposed to the elements....I am saying that though the make up may irritate the

problems encountered without its protection might be the lesser of two evils??

I want to continue to wear eye make up because this crap is so demoralising taht

although I do not want to further damage I feel so depressed about my appearance

without my make up (esp mascara) that I will wear it until my eyes literally win

the fight!

Could sinus pain do this to me or tiredness?

Can Tony D tell me his diet or direct me to the message in the archives?

Could Marjorie L please tell me the combo she takes of flax and cottage cheese??

or direct me to her message in the archives?

Can any one empathise with this? recommend anything for this? (eg, lifestyle,

diet, supplements, advice of any sort???)

I keep getting head aches too which seems to start on the right hand side of my

head but extend to the entire head, in my ears and everything.

Can any one rec a really gentle eye make up remover with no mineral oil or

fragrance?

gentle eye pencils, shadow and in particular non-irritating mascara?

Please help...my eyes and face pain and looks are really upsetting me.

That's not me, Shelley.

No one here can know how bad your symptoms are, or what component is

rosacea vs irritative dermatitis, and I certainly understand your

desire to continue wearing make-up. But if that's causing and/or

perpetuating your symptoms, then continuing to use eye and skin

makeup may be more self-defeating than you realize. Statistically,

what we rosaceans put on our faces is far and away the most likely

source of irritation compounding our rosacea.

pure emu oil. I've been using it for a couple years now. It's soothing and

gets the makeup off.
