Itching--is it rosacea or product?

[Guest guest]

I have the persistent red with sensitive skin kind of rosacea. No

papules or pustules.

Is itching, by itself, caused by rosacea? I have always thought that

any itching was due to being sensitive to or irritated by a product.

Right now I am having itchiness or either side of my nose. It is very

itchy and medium red.

I am really hoping it is not irritation because the only thing I am

using is Clinique Super City Block 25, and I really like it and don't

want to look for another sunscreen. And given that its summer, I can't

stop using sunscreen to see if it goes away. (I am definitely

sensitive to some chemical sunscreens.)

Any ideas?

My face itches a lot, often just before the bumps appear. Sometimes it can be

controlled with tetracycline and Metro Lotion and other times, nothing helps.
