So going back ti feb i had covid, had burning skin as was super sensitive.
Then i was given heart medication for pots, i started the heart meds end of march. After 4-5 days of taking them i startef looking hot faces spotty/rashy. I went to the gp who said it’s probably hormonal and to carry on with medication. I carried on for 3 weeks then the face looked soo rashy and itchy a different dr said stop. Ive stopped the meds now
just over 2 weeks. It got Better after like 1.5 weeks and now im abit itchy again and i sat outside in the sun and it was very red and angry.
im due to go abroad next week and im soo nervous i dont want to go due to my face and itching.
i saw the GP yesterday and i mentioned roscea and he said try some cream (soolantra)?
my niece now also has got a facial rash?
so im thinking is it the tablets? Roscea? Or a virus?
im soo confused, the dr doesnt know. Just wanna know if anyone has any advice or similar story. I am taking strong antihistamines from the GP.
Thankyou for reading :)

I don't know it it is rosacea but if it is, it should respond to the Soolantra quite nicely, so you sound see an improvement very soon.

Mine responded straightaway. I've not heard of it getting worse before it gets better with Soolantra?
