RE: [rosacea] Success?

Hi Melissa,

No, I have not had any laser procedures done, from what I hear and read, it
is not always a cure. But, really, nothing is with rosacea.

Again, with me, it appears to be diet related, you can eat healthy, but that
doesn't mean that what you are eating is NOT causing the problem. I have
eliminated lots from my diet, and discovered that some of these were
triggers, i.e. tomatoes are a big one for me, as also lots of fruit.

A good way to start before investing tons of money in cures and ointments is
to start a daily log of what you ingest, along with your activities, this
will help in pinpointing. When I starting addressing the rosacea with
dietary changes I saw results early on. For example after taking 5-10
minutes of sauna proceeding a workout I would not remain as flushed to the
point that I would only be flushed for a couple minutes after the sauna.
Prior it would be flushed until well after a shower & shave.

Aging apparently may be a factor in the sense that our bodies do not
assimilate food or environmental factors as they used to. Not to sound
holistic, but there maybe something to all that mumbo jumbo. There is a
yahoo group you whose files you may want to review. It's called Candida
support, I came across it after I had a serious yeast overload from high
levels of antibiotics (for rosacea) and it has some interesting facts on
nutrition, etc. Bottom line is the person who runs the group believes
candida is responsible for everything from cancer to skin disorders, along
with some other untraditional beliefs such as high cholesterol being ok.
Check the site out, but as I mentioned take it with a grain of salt, because
I don't believe all she states as 100% true, at least not with my body. We
need to be able to read the signs our bodes send out.

Good luck, if I remember or come across anything I'll forward it to you.

Hi Nerio,
Have you had any laser procedures done? I was doing some research and
there seems to be some reduction in flushing and overall pinkness with
certain procedures i.e. IPL RF.
I have always eaten very healthfully (and I gave up all alcohol when my
flushing became a problem a few months ago) and exercised every day. My
flushing is becoming a real problem. My main trigger is when I get warm,
even though stress can also bring on a flush- but less so.
Thanks for any input,
Melissa
