Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Hi, Mike. Yes, I have rosacea, and being part French, Chinese and a wee bit of Native in me, I end up looking Spanish-y sort of. And I have been blessed with cea as well. I also shake my head when I look at some of the predisposing factors, including fair hair and very " white " backgrounds, but I do indeed have it. And, no one else in my family seems to have it either. So there you go. It's possible. By the way, I was also misdiagnosed for years with adult acne, which led to very irritating treatments and exacerbation of symptoms, so make sure you don't go that route! Chantal ----Original Message Follows---- To: rosacea-supportegroups Subject: SURVEY questions... Date: Sun, 07 May 2000 01:33:51 -0000 Im still debating as to whether my facial flushing was all from my anxiety disorders and imblances in neurotranmitters and stress hormones and all, and/or do i have minor rosacea as well... no dr. really said i have rosacea for sure. I have jet black hair, dark brwn eyes, fair facial skin but medium tan on body, no irish in my family, and no one in my family has rosacea either!!!!! does anyone else have rosacea who doesnt have irish in the family?? who has type 3 skin, and dark features like me?? like italina looking... and with no genetic predisposition?? I might just have very sensitive skin as to why I feel burning to some alcohols and flare to some oils and products, everyone with fragile skin has those symptoms... and maybe dry skin and seboorheic dermaitits fighting a peaceful co existence, but my parents and myself are NOT convinced I even have it, if I do how do I know for sure? thanks for the survey help Mike ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 I'm with you two but have been a lifelong blusher and have family with it. There is quite a mixture of people in my family who are very fair and dark with it. I was blond as a child with fair skin. I've noticed in Dr. Nase's picture that he has light/medium olive skin and dark hair. I'm not sure what his ethnicity is, but he doesn't look like he has the fair, thin skin that is considered typical.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 I am totally out the stereotypical bracket, which is why I believe my last derm never believed I had cea. I'm of African descent. Both my grandmothers were mixed races, but I am as Irish as the Cinco de Mayo festival. I wish they'd just do away with white/irish/celtic stereotype. People of all complexions and races get cea. > > Im still debating as to whether my facial flushing was all from my > anxiety disorders and imblances in neurotranmitters and stress > hormones and all, and/or do i have minor rosacea as well... no dr. > really said i have rosacea for sure. > > I have jet black hair, dark brwn eyes, fair facial skin but medium > tan > on body, no irish in my family, and no one in my family has rosacea > either!!!!! > > does anyone else have rosacea who doesnt have irish in the family?? > who has type 3 skin, and dark features like me?? like italina > looking... and with no genetic predisposition?? > > I might just have very sensitive skin as to why I feel burning to > some > alcohols and flare to some oils and products, everyone with fragile > skin has those symptoms... and maybe dry skin and seboorheic > dermaitits fighting a peaceful co existence, but my parents and > myself > are NOT convinced I even have it, if I do how do I know for sure? > thanks for the survey help > > Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 25 % Irish, 50% Scicillian, 25% Italian other than Scicillian, so that's 75 % Italian total. I am a freckled redhead with very rosy pink red skin, (even before this!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
