Guest guest Posted December 16, 2000 Report Share Posted December 16, 2000 I was diagnosed with rosacea two years ago but have probably had it for a good six years. I have some mild redness, broken capillaries on my nose, cheeks, and chin, and a rough, dry texture to my skin. But what bothers me most about the rosacea is the milia, small white bumps largely beneath the skin's surface, that I get. I never had these before I had rosacea. At first my dermatologist said they were unrelated but now she thinks they are caused by the inflammation of rosacea. Does anyone else have a problem with milia and if so, have you been able to stop the outbreaks. Thanks, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2000 Report Share Posted December 16, 2000 I don't know if this is the same thing as you've described, but I've always had these tiny, hard bumps right underneath the skin. They don't itch, hurt or anything. They are flesh colored. I started getting them years before developing rosacea. Once when I went for a facial, the esthetician pricked it with a needle and squeezed out the hard bump. It went away but eventually grew back. > I was diagnosed with rosacea two years ago but have probably had it for a good six > years.
