Evening all,

I am new to the group and I have just been diagnosed with Rosacea. For a
couple of months now I have been getting out of the shower and I would have
these areas that were really red and painful with little bumps. My fiance has
been asking me to see a dermatologist but I kept saying it was just dry skin. I
am a teacher and I had a really bad semester. So by the end of the day my face
and ears would be bright red. I just brushed it off to being warm in my
classroom. After trying cream after cream and washing my face with everything
known to man I decided to go to the doctors. Sure enough, he told me it was
Rosacea.

I explained to him that am getting married in three weeks and I didn't want to
have these nasty bumps or redness all over my face. He prescribed me Galderma
and told me that I would need to use it for 2 weeks before I see any results.
The redness has gone somewhat but the bumps are still there. I have been
drinking water like a mad woman to see if that would help clear up my face. I
was wondering, since my face is VERY sensitive, if anyone knew of anything that
would help clear up the bumps a little faster?

Also, I did research about make up for the redness and I read that a green
base helps get rid of the red. I bought some Physicians Formula and tried
it....but my face has a green glow. Tell me what I am doing wrong!!!

Thanks,

Jenn
