What new fresh h*ll is happening to my face, lol?!
I have known I have rosacea for at least 10 years, and after multiple derm visits settled into a basic "try not to anger the skin gods" routine that was mostly fine.
However! I am now experiencing new breakouts on my cheeks, especially where the side of my nostrils meet my cheeks, that are painful, deep & never fully heal. When the bumps on my cheeks happen my face often gets flushed & warm.
There are also these raised areas that are generally lighter skin toned and appear almost overnight-they don't hurt, but also don't go away (that are stressing me out!)
I take 50mg of minocycline 2XD that is currently prescribed by my regular Dr, which used to help keep the flushing & facial breakouts under control, but I'm not sure if it's helping anymore.
I've asked for a derm referral, but it's looking like I won't be able to see anyone until July, sigh. Hoping to crowd source if anyone has experience with anything similar and has found successful routines or treatments till I can get into a dermatologist.
