I’ve been suffering with rosacea on my face for about 8mths now and its driving me bonkers! Just wondering if anyone else has too? I know it isn’t necessarily classed as a symptom but there are some studies out there that show it is really common in women with MS.  
If anyone could help me with suggested solutions it would be much appreciated.  
Thank you in advance!

I have heard it said that the person most likely to suffer from an autoimmune complaint is the person who has at least one already. Acne rosacea drives me bonkers too! Non-acne rosacea in late middle age runs in my family, so I never had a hope. Rotten, isn’t it? Spots and wrinkles! Not a good look. 😆

Hi,

I can totally sympathize, I suffer so bad with it have tried all sorts.

Can i ask what you both take or use to keep it somewhat manageable? Mine is awful and ruins lots of things/times i should enjoy. Ive tried to embrace it but its so hard.  
Thanks Ceri

Mine seems to flare and recede pretty much at random. I was so lucky with my skin in early life - barely a teenage spot! - but my luck has run out in late middle age.

Oh at least we know were not alone.  
I use Tropic products religously now which does help but it does flare up, im really struggling with it at the moment. When it get really bad I use Rosalique which is a sun screen, treatment and covers it really well. I can still see and feel it but others dont seem to notice it as much.  
If I find any miracles I’ll definitely let you know xx
