Rosacea

I have rosacea. Not the bumpy type but general redness on my face. It's pretty much all over apart from my forehead.
I've had redness for a long time but I feel it's getting worse, especially my nose.
I drink alcohol-one bottle of wine per week and generally don't go over that amount. Sometimes I drink less per week or none at all.
Healthy, varied diet.
I use It cosmetics CC cream but I find as it starts to wear off throughout the day the redness shows.
Has anyone tried medication for this type or rosacea?
Thanks.

I had the same and got a prescription from my doctor for Solantra cream and it cleared it up almost immediately.

Thanks. I'll make an appointment and mention it.

Soolantra cream from the GP is a game changer. My face used to get so red and actually burn, even my ears and neck would go beetroot red too, the soolantra cream is amazing, to start with things will get worse using it as it kills off a bacteria in your skin and draws it out to the surface but honestly if you give it a few weeks you will not regret it.

Thanks so much. Honestly, i'm not sure why I haven't done anything about it sooner! I've just put up with it. Can't wait to try it now.
