Just been diagnosed with roseacea

Great.
i look as if I have smallpox..with a face full of pustules. The dermatologist says she's not seen anything like it (!) and has taken a swab. 6 weeks worth of antibiotics.
She thinks it's sun related ...fantastic, am going to Spain next week.
Well supposedly...I'm not going anywhere with a face like this.

The antibiotics took me from red and zitty to a tiny bit pink in a couple of weeks so they should take you to tolerable quite fast. Do you know any other triggers? Spicy food?

That's hopeful then.
Not food related..definitely sun and stress related.

My antibiotics took two weeks to work when I had Rosacea. I was all 'they aren't working and on day 13 it was barely noticeable. Hope they work for you, Rosacea is seriously shit.
