I've had an ongoing problem with facial redness and burning sensation mainly on my checks, chin and nose as if I'm being sun burnt, I've broke out in spots and have a lot of congestion. I've also noticed my skin way more oily than usual but yet it flakes as though it is dry !
Should I go to the doctor with this?
Hi Amy. It sounds like Roseacea but it's probably a good idea to see a dermatologist for confirmation and to discuss treatment options. In my experience, sooner rather than later.
The only thing is that I am worried they are going to say I'm too young since I'm only 19 Thank you for your advice, it's much appreciated
I got Rosecea in my 20's but through ignorance on my part, wasn't diagnosed till my 40's. I was on long term meds initially which helped. Eventually, I found laser worked very well and to date, have had 3 courses. I also had laser to remove some lumps. I recently tried Mirvaso but wouldn't recommend it as I had a bad reaction. Currently, I am using Dermae wash, serum and moisturiser but will be seeing a dermatologist soon re more laser.
