Rosacea and other health issues
After being diagnosed with Rosacea, I have gone through other medical issues such as:
hysterectomy
gall bladder removed
GERD
bleeding ulcers
chronic diarrhea
This has caused me to have to drastically change my diet. I try to avoid caffeine, spicy foods and wheat products, especially bread. These cause me to have acid reflux and if you read on the website can be triggers for Rosacea.
I am now taking Probiotics and using a Tea Tree & E Antiseptic Creme along with a facial sunblock.
I take the Probiotics in the morning and before bed.
I use the Tea Tree & E Antiseptic Creme in the morning before I put on the sunblock and then my makeup. Also, I use the Tea Tree & E Antiseptic Creme after I wash the makeup off at night. When I wash my face I use a foam cleanser made for sensitive skin and rinse with lukewarm water.
The makeup I use is made for sensitive skin as well. If you can afford it try to use an all natural makeup. You can get those online or in some health food supply stores. It is more expensive, so if you cannot afford it, try to shop around for liquid foundation made for sensitive skin and instead of rubbing it on your face, use a sponge and blot.
In two weeks I will post another picture. We will then see if this helped, hurt or no change.

After years of doctor's appointments and thousands of dollars on prescribed medicines, this is how my skin looks right now.
