Hi everyone,

I was recently diagnosed with Rosacea (after being misdiagnozed numerous times
and
unfortunately being given steroids which I believe have exhasberated the
condition).

In any event my question is this, besides the redness, p&p's, burning and
itching (all of which
are really annoying) I have this feeling in my forehead and around my eyes
(sometimes the
scalp) which I can only describe as a pressure feeling (like something is
swelling and
contracting underneath the skin). This is by far the worst part of this
disorder for me so far
and is driving me nuts.

Can anyone comment on this symptom and whether it is indeed part of Rosacea, and
further
whether effective treatment for it exists (and if so what is it). I am
currently using Noritate
with no noticeable improvement (have tried Elidel, not good and I am allergic to
a number of
antibiotics including the tetracyclines).
