Mitzi,

You may want to find a dermatologist who is up to date with rosacea. A couple of
books you might consider:

Rosacea Diagnosis and Management by Frank Powell

Rosacea 101: Includes the Rosacea Diet

and happily married for 12 years. I have had rosacea since I was 21. I am going
to my family doctor for treatment. Not sure if this is a good thing or not but
its much closer to where I live and cheaper on us. I have the Rosacea with the
bumps :(. It so depressing at times to look in the mirror and hate the person
looking back at you. I was not always this way though. I once had beautiful skin
and thought I was beautiful. I tend to keep away from cameras and video
recorders more then I ever did. Right now I have a flare up of the bumps cause I
drank some coffee and ate spicy foods :( I am looking for a group of support and
to find some other people who are going through what I am going through. I use
to go without makeup back before rosacea and would love to one day get to where
I can do that again. I hope to find the support I am looking for here. While
hubby is great about it all he also is not going through this either.
