I am so-ooo frustrated!

June 25, 2001

Hi ya all,

I can't buy Tolerin products or New

York products that I am planning to buy because I

found out that my ceredit card is full. Last Sunday I

had no soap or lotion so I went to the grocery store

and brought Basis Soap for Sensitive Skin and

Neutrogena Moisture for Sensitive Skin. I've been

using them for two days now. My face is red and it has

ugly bumps all over that looks like rash. It looks

AWFUL!!I think that Basis Soap has something to do

with it. I don't know what to buy next.I don't know

what to do. I don't have Doctor Nase book. Before I

buy anything from the store, how do I know if the

product will make my rosacea worse?? I know that Dr.

Nase book will help a lot but the problem is my

ceredit card is full. I am soooo depressed. I don't

want to live with rosacea the ugly monsterous

disease!!! Sorry for complaining too much. I can't

help it.

Hi Amber,

For a cleanser, try Cetaphil bar cleanser; it contains no alcohols of

any type and has a good rep as a sensitive skin cleanser. You should

be able to locate it OTC at pharmacies, grocers, etc.

For a moisturiser, try jojoba oil; it is very gentle. Apply only a

few drops at most, and wet your hands with water to spread it out. A

small amount of jojoba goes a long way. You should be able to find

jojoba oil at GNC or a health food store.

cea has been the most frustrating experience of my life. You are

not alone there, FWIW.

Best regards, Jim
