With me I think that I get more blotchy around different chemicals at work. I find that zinc oxide ointment and Noritate help the most. Photoderm has definitely helped to get rid of alot of the blotchiness that I once had. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 1999 Report Share Posted September 30, 1999 , I get it for lots of reasons, including dry skin. For me, it depends on what I eat or the triggers I set off. I find an otc antihistamine and grapeseed extract seem to moderate blotchiness a lot. I have to be careful about what I eat and not set off triggers, however.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 1999 Report Share Posted October 2, 1999 Is there any connection to having fair or very light skin opposed to dark or olive skin. I heard rosacea hits most everyone with very light fair complextion. So are most of you fair skin with this condition? Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of English/Irish/ish/German heritage, strongest in English. I just found out two of my cousins (they are sisters) have developed rosacea..... evidently there is more than a little truth to what is said about heredity and heritage playing a role.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 1999 Report Share Posted October 2, 1999 I do not have fair skin. But I do not have rosacea on my cheeks, etc. I have it on my nose without " pimples " . I get red and swelling at least once a day and my skin is thickening and slowly deforming my nose, some tiny red spots are beginning to form.
