To be really fed up with people commenting on my face?

Incredibly rude, I can’t believe people sometimes.

My adult DD had horrendous eczema until she was prescribed dupilumab.

I remember people moving tables in restaurants so they didn’t have to be near her 😡

One thing I would make illegal if I was in charge of lawmaking would be personal comments on appearance! Trust me as someone with a slightly unfortunate appearance myself I have had a lifetime of it! I really feel for you and can’t believe how rude people are!

Solidarity op! I can wear foundation, but when I don't I get comments.

I have ( mild) rosacea and PMLE and the comments over the years have been staggering. Oh and the helpful ones. Is it prickly heat? Have you tried calamine? Or aloe vera?

I use Simple face wash and Erborian red correct. It certainly hides the red and soothes as well.

Have you tried Rosalique? It’s good stuff! Colour correcting skin care with spf. A make up artist told me about them. Hope it helps.

A private appointment would be available within a week and if it’s affecting your life so much would be worth it

I have had to go through multiple GP appointments and try all their suggestions before they offered a referral to a dermatologist. Currently been waiting 9 months. I guess it is seen as less important to things like moles which could be cancerous.
Not as simple as seeing a dermatologist!

That’s rather unfair given that you have to go through the GP to get the referral to the dermatologist, assuming you aren’t rich and don’t have the money to go private.
Definitely agree she needs to get the referral asap but going through the faffing around will have been a necessary first step to get referred.

YABU because if it’s that bad you should have seen a dermatologist and not be faffaing around with GP . All my siblings and I have rosacea and different treatments worked for us, alll except one brother who had terrible flare ups and doesn’t do anything .

I feel you op, I have rosacea (though azelaic acid has helped).
People think they’re being helpful by informing me I have caught the sun but for some reason I feel deeply insulted by it, like, do they think I’m too stupid to wear a hat/suncream?

When it’s children commenting I have sometimes enjoyed grossing them out by explaining about demodex mites because you can finish by explaining that EVERYBODY has thousands of the little creatures living on their face, including them.

Normally though when people ask they’re not actually interested in the answer, they are just saying the first thing that comes into their head because they have no manners or filter.

People can be thoughtless arseholes. It’s a them problem.

Try your local college’s beauty department and/or groupon sometimes have offers

I just can't get over how rude some people are. In my mid 30s,I developed persistent bad spots on my chin. I worked in a shop and had to deal with customers all day, every day. The number of them who thought fit to comment on my spotty chin was unbelievable. Some of them even thought that I was unaware of it saying things like 'Did you know you've got a couple of really nasty spots on your chin?'. Eventually I went to my doctor who prescribed me a 3 month low-dose course of antibiotics which thankfully got rid of them. The spots that is. Unfortunately,the customers were still there. You have my sympathy OP. People are just ignorant.

Have you tried Tetralysal, aka Lymecyline? Only think that worked for me.

Yanbu this must be really annoying and upsetting.
I know you shouldnt have to but...... if appropriate (which it probably wouldnt be I guess) if you could hand out a leaflet to any of the question asking people. "Heres a leaflet, have a great day" smile and wave etc.
Because there will be people who genuinely dont know/understand - so a bit of education would help them. And the rest are just nasty and inconsiderate.
Are your employers sympathetic at all. Im itching to move elsewhere atm but my boss is very kind and understanding re my disabilities so Im loathe to move incase I cant recreate that elsewhere.

I just wanted to give a shout out to https://www.changingfaces.org.uk/
They're an amazing charity with excellent resources and support x

Soolantra, an otc cream, is meant to be good for dealing with it

and people shouldn’t say anything - very rude

Don't have any advice OP but totally get it. I was born with a limb difference, and the amount of grown adults who think it's acceptable not only to openly stare, but to ask me "what happened to you?" just pisses me off sometimes. Because of course, why wouldn't I want to discuss my medical history with a complete stranger? 🙄
I have occasionally made stuff up, just to amuse myself and to see if they fall for it. I'll say something like I'm a marine biologist and I lost my arm in a shark attack, and when they say "Really??" I just look at them as if they're stupid and say "No, of course not" which really confuses them.
Or I reply to the "What happened to you?" question with a confused look and "nothing- why, what happened to YOU?" which also confuses them. I take the view that if I have to put up with these idiots at least I should get some mild amusement out of it!

Well my child caused a injury to hos body and well the stares were beyond annoying
The frowns..long stares.
Perhaps looks at it as away to educate people about rosecea? ..or dare i say use something that might help tackle it.
We all have oddities, quirks and differences.
Tell them what it is like the pp with the small note saying so.
Humans are curious.

OP, I wholeheartedly agree that people should STFU about how others look.

Because you have expressed how this is impacting you, and that you have tried solutions from the GP, I wanted to share that I've been getting laser treatment for my rosacea. It has made a significant difference. Something you could consider if it's in your budget? I am in Australia, so don't know if they have different names. I get Excel v for red veins (makes your face swell up for a day or two) and genesis. If you can afford it, it's worthwhile.

There are some seriously rude people around! Who the fuck comments on someone’s face like this? They’re idiots wuth atrocious manners.

You do know that there are treatments for rosacea? Are you on any? I’m asking only because I’ve had to take them before. That said, people ARE being rude to you. I don’t know how to make them stop.

People can be absolutely horrid.
I remember when I was out and about with my baby , my fourth pregnancy at the time , you know the way it takes longer for your tummy to go down after each pregnancy.
My baby was about 2 months old .
I got “ are you sure there isn’t another one in there “ .
“ is your tummy going to stay that big do you think , this is your fourth after all “ .
” You’ll need to do plenty of exercises to get your figure back “ .
”Are you still hanging around “ ( and I pushing a new born baby pram ) .
I remember feeling so hurt at the time , because there is no need ever to pass off negative comments to a person about their appearance.
Some people are just dicks OP .

Whereabouts are you? I go to a lady near Chester and she charges £75 per session. I have had just two sessions in 6 months and honestly the difference is amazing. She is very experienced and well qualified and she says IPL works much better than laser. It stings but doesn't hurt. Initially the redness increases but after a couple of weeks the body has cleared the skin and it's much paler.
I hope you can find a way to have the treatment.
