Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Hi Kathi, I have had the red face for years too. I was dxed 4 years ago with the ROSACEA and given the gel. The gel burned my face something terrible. Guess what? Dr. then decides I don't have ROSACEA-just sensitive skin. Since that time I was tested and got dxed for some Sun Sensitive thing and must wear sunblock all the time, or I get weird bumps anywhere I am exposed. Since having flares with RP (started in Novemver of 2000) I notice that the red face really increases when in a flare. In fact, last Christmas my sister sent me a song she wrote for me. The title was-Kathy, the red earred, red faced reindeer. I expect an even wittier one this year! Take care, Midge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was from the RP, or it was a precursor of the RP, who knows? You just haven't lived until you have an ear " flash " that rolls into a hot flash! It's making me crazy! I guess all we can do with the " wit " is to laugh it off (not always so easy!). Hang in there and SMILE! Love,Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
