over the past 6 months my usual redness has transformed into these photos (bump like spots with no actual acne, visible blood vessels - only 2 have appeared, & more constant stinging/ burning of skin) & i have no idea what to do

from what i’ve researched type 1 and perhaps type 2 rosacea appears to be consistent with what it looks like but i don’t know the best way to treat it + drs & derms around me are insanely expensive so if anyone has any advice or suggestions please help me!!!

other possibly relevant context:

- my cheeks are consistently red

- comments like “aw she’s blushing” are common

- comments like “wow someone’s unfit” in exercise contexts have occurred many times

- face becomes extremely red all over from exercise

- face has a burning sensation when alcohol is consumed

- i sun burn extremely easily (although i am very pale)

- family members have rosacea
