Rosacia

Concerned about my unhealthy skin condition,(angry red skin, spots etc.)I decided to try the doctors, perhaps an allergy to a food has occured? My father has an intolerance to gluten, perhaps this could be the answer...The doctor suggested to trest me for Rosacia, however the cream that has been prescribed means that you have to keep out of sunlight! I mentioned this to a friend and she knows someone who used this cream and it resulted in her having to avoid sunlight for life! I have decided not to use this cream until I check out what else is available for the treatment of Rosacia.
Tea Tree oil is a natural antiseptic, so I shall try this first and also go to a Herbalist to see what they suggest..
Any comments or opinions, please do......
Any information please give comments..
Thanks

Acne rosacea; acne erythematosa; vascular and follicular dilation involving the nose and contiguous portions of cheeks: may vary from very mild but persistent erytherma to extensive hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands with deep-seated papules and pustules of the affected erythematous sites.

I constantly have an itchiness and red around my nose, eyes, cheeks and chin. I always thought it was bad acne. I recently had the worst outbreak I have ever come across. My face was bright red all over, it itched like crazy, and unfortunatley no moisturizers or vitamin E did anything for me. I blamed it on constant stress and 50 hours a week of working in hot, greasy kitchens. My friend told me it was rosacia and to look up symptoms on the computer. To me it looks like noone knows what the hell is making me so ugly.

I would like to learn more about this disease. I have just found out that I have it. I have broken capillaries on my face. I have always thought that it was just redness in certain areas on the skin. What can be done about the broken capillaries? They are ugly.

I hate it. It is very painfull. I would love to keep my face covered!!!
