Does anyone here have Rosacea? I'm pretty sure it's what I'm suffering with, just waiting to go back to my GP for diagnosis.
I started with a warm feeling above my eyes occasionally, a month or so ago. I thought nothing of it, but then in recent weeks I started having hot flushes just in the face, sometimes just affecting the one side, and I go very red. Twice the took me by surprise and I felt quite panicky at the sensation. My GP thought it could be stress or panic attacks but I suffered panic attacks in my teens and as far as I remember I didn't go hot. Also the hot flushes hit out of nowhere, I'm not even feeling worried or anxious at the time.
I've always had spots, but since going on the pill they cleared up a lot. Recently I'm having little red bumps on my skin, sometimes puss filled, I also have a slighty red nose, cheeks, chin and middle of my forehead, it's there's areas I'm also getting the hard spots.
I went two weeks without a hot flush, but since Friday I've had them often, sometimes lasting hours:/
Can anyone relate to this? How do you cope with the hot flushes? I am becoming a bit self conscious and worried about being out when it hits. I look like a tomato;)
