I suffer from sinusitis, too, and my rosacea gets worse when I have to blow my

nose a lot. Tell us about the evening primrose oil and biotin. Where did you

learn about these, and how do you use them? Ann S.

Hi Cory,

I have major sinus problems. Have had one surgery already,which

helped for about a year or so. I dont know if the sinuses make the rosacea/seb

derm any worse for me since I started having the sinus problems way before the

skin problems.

I have tried Evening of Primrose Oil and take Biotin daily. I

dont know if it makes a difference, but I know a few people who have psoriasis

that swear by Evening of Primrose Oil saying that they feel it cleared them up

dramatically.

One of the vitamin books that I have states that the cis-linoleic

and linoleic acid that is in Evening of Primrose Oil can produce/or be

converted into pro -inflammatory effects.( although it also states that theyve

done studies where it has helped to relieve eczema and atopic dermititis ).I

was just reading another post here where one member of this group ,Cathie, had

her breasts swell after taking it. That might be the reason why.I dont know,

the more you look into these things the more confusing it can become! I take

the omega 3 oils like Flax seed or Fish oil just in case of the inflammation

theory. The book does state that combining the two essential fatty acids could

be benificial and to play around with each to see which one works for

you.(like take one for one month and then switch to the other, or combine the

two). I keep hoping that these oils kick in and cut down on some of this damn

itching.I do feel that the fish oil capsules are helping to keep my skin from

not being so dry.

I have chronic sinus problems, too. I also get a lot of nosebleeds. The

allergist says my blood vessels are too close to the surface inside my nose

and rupture easily.

Hi Cory,

I've not tried Evening Primrose Oil/

But do count me in on the people suffering from chronic sinusitis. I've not

noticed if it has any effect on my rosacea. It seems during the winter my

face stays red no matter what I do. :-( It seems to me I've inherited

most all the same ills that my dear mother suffers from as well.

i find evening primrose oil very helpful, i take a capsule morning and night. i

notice my skin feels more elastic and supple when i'm using it, and i do believe

it helps a bit with inflammation.

i also have sinus trouble. i don't know what terminology to use in describing

it, but i generally have to keep kleenex in my pocket!

I have noticed that rosacea gets worse with sinus problems. I have had a

sinus problem since November which has been resisting antibiotics. I went

to an ear, nose and throat specialist this past Wed. and he scheduled me

for an MRI next Monday so that he can determine the course of treatment.

I'm sure that whatever course of treatment he comes up with will just make

my rosacea worse. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone re

sinus and rosacea.corym@...

Hi : I also have had a miserable time this winter with chronic sinus

problems and rosacea. I wonder if somehow they are tied together. Can't

get an answer from doctors since each one has their own specialty.

I also tried evening primrose oil and have had no luck.
