Does your rosacea go away completely? Mine never seems to go away, no matter what I use. Cetaphil cleansers and moisterizers, metorgel, I'm even taking Oracea My dh fondly calls me Rudolph-you know, the red nose raindeer. I use makeup to cover up the worst and dh fondly calls it spackle. (you know the stuff you repair drywall?) "Don't forget to spackle before we go out." My nose stays red, like a sunburn all year round-it gets worse when I have a cold, or the weather is cold or windy.
I get the red pimply bumps, sometimes really painful -like a nasty pimple that's getting ready to come to a head but never does. Yuck TMI?
I broke down and made an appointment to see a dermatolgist in a couple weeks.
