Today I'm having a dreadful flare-up - my cheeks are burning, swollen, tender and so red they're nearly purple, my eyes are hot and dry and I'm getting a real throbbing headache going as well. It still feels like this is a sinus problem rather than a rosacea flare-up. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm planning to get some sinus medication at lunch time. The only problem is, a nasal spray which has been very effective in the past (beconase) I was told by my dermatologist causes visible veins around my nostrils, so I haven't used it since I found out, because laser treatment on that area was excruciatingly painful, and not something I want to repeat every 5 years! Any ideas? cheers Rachel
