Reaching my last nerve
Community please help because I am at my wits and wallet's end with my suddenly advancing rosacea. I have had it since college but I'm the last 5 years it's just gotten progressively worse. I just can't find ANYTHING to help my redness, raised texture, breakouts and never ending dryness.
This has been going on for almost 2 years and nothing seems to work. I've changed my routine countless times, I'm down to just Prequel Redness wash and Bubble Power Wave Super Hydrating Moisturizer 2x daily, with Azelaic acid 1-2x a week and NOTHING is working. The AA helps but only for a few hours and then it's back to dry and bumpy and the breakouts are SUPER ANNOYING.
For reference I am a 40yo female, living in Central FL so our humidity SUCKS and I'm fairly certain my hormones are already at war in perimenapause.
Any help, even just "hey it'll get better" would be appreciated. I am going to look for a dermatologist but I refuse as much as I can to using medicated items because again I live in FL and avoiding the sun is impossible and I won't push it with RX creams.
