Hi Emily,

Thanks for your reply. How long have you had this? I flush for the exact
same reasons you do although they have gotten less since I am weaning from my
meds. Does redness become permanent for everyone? I don't know much about this
and all the websites say different things. My derm said my blood vessels were
weakened from all the years I spent in the sun. Living in San Diego is great
but we have sun almost all year round. Does there ever come a time when
flushing can go away?

Thanks,
Jyl
