i feel like my rosacea is slowly getting worse
i’ve struggled with sensitive skin & rosacea my whole life. it’s something that’s always contributed to my insecurities, as i’m sure everyone in here understands. i honestly feel really vulnerable even posting pictures of my skin here. i’ve finally decided in the last few months to start taking my skincare seriously. i consult this page before i buy anything! in some aspects i’ve noticed my skin doing a lot better! i’m so much less dry & flaky, and the redness really was going down, but now… i’ve had these tiny white pustules pop up. they started out pretty minor, very irritated & itchy feeling, but yesterday i noticed quite a large one. i put my spot treatment on, did my skincare, and went to bed. i woke up this morning to it big, angry, and very painful (pictured.) this is a really uncommon breakout for me. i usually only do my skincare routine once daily in the evening, unless i’m wearing makeup, then i will prep. can anyone help me figure out what the culprit might be here? am i just using too many products?? i’m learning & trying really hard to do the best things for my skin that i can, so constructive criticism is very appreciated 🫶
