The Rosacea X-Factor Syndrome   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3780 of 5404 |
One of the problems with the X-Factor is that there is really no clear
definition of rosacea,
and can be easily misdiagnosed. When a physician says that you have rosacea (or
one of the
subtypes) this disease looks like so many other skin conditions that later a
rosacean finds
that it is SD, PF, or something else. And the AMA generally dismisses
demodecosis as rosacea
which isn't even listed as a subtype or variant of rosacea, being a completely
different
disease. There really isn't any way to know exactly what skin condition a person
has who is
diagnosed with rosacea. The disease has such a broad spectrum and looks way too
much like
acne, SD, lupus, PF, and a host of other diseases. The point of all this is that
when one is
looking for a treatment for rosacea, assuming that the doctor is right about the
diagnosis,
and finds out way down the line that what is on the face is actually another
disease, the X-
Factor goes further into another realm, the Rosacea Twilight Zone. it really
shows that we
need research on this, and that is why I formed a non profit organization to do
just that.
