Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 A lot of different skin conditions can mimick rosacea. Seborrhea dermatitis and acne are two that are often confused with rosacea and some people can have this with rocasea. One way to see if the redness IS NOT rocasea is to eliminate potential irritants (creams, makeup other topical meds) that may be causing symptoms similiar to rosacea. I have to do this because my new primary care physician thinks I have rosacea too. And I think my redness is related to my use of retin-A and oxy pads (I was diagnosed with acne vulgaris some years back and only started turning red when I began retin-A) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
