tell me why a doctor can't tell the difference between dry skin and rosacea... why is a doctor giving me DRYING acne medication when i need to moisturize? a doctor should have been able to say "well, you may not be doing anything different, but your skin is certainly drying up a lot... could be due to something in your water, or even just ages / hormones, etc... try moisturizing" instead of "here, acne meds, rosacea meds, steroids, drugs, big pharma!!!" at this point a freaking tiktok influencer can spot a damaged moisture barrier better than a doctor can. the very FIRST sign was little bumps of irritation. why did a doctor treat it like acne, and not irritation? why did a doctor dry it out more? why was a doctor adding more irritants to red and dry skin, rather than soothing it? no doctor EVER asked me "how often do you wash your face?" "what do you wash your face with?" "whats your skin scare routine?" and if they DID ask those questions first- we could have avoided a whole lot of anxiety and worsening of symptoms. it was my fault up to a point- the doctors made it worse and were scratching their heads wondering why it was getting worse and never thought to try something else.

@@VictoriaVitriol Because you have passed the dry skin part and you are very went to the damage and they both look exactly alike. Oh believe me I agree there are many doctors who just would just give you the generic stuff and in 6 weeks come back or 8 weeks. I'm just saying your response is blaming the doctors when you clearly stated when they ask you if you've been doing anything different or anything like that you didn't mention the three showers daily being in a cold area because of the chocolate place you worked at. Then using Gym soap on your face I mean I think that should have been told to the doctor. That's what they mean by changes they usually mean diet and stuff you been doing in your life sometimes it's stress sometimes it may be a death in the family or something that is traumatic or dramatic. Like you said it didn't get like that overnight you don't break your skin barrier overnight it takes a long time. I mean to do the damage that you did. You may not understand acne, since you never had it you can have severely dry skin and still have acne. Oily skin does not mean acne. You can have clogged pores be oily underneath even being super dry on top. I mean I don't know how often you were seeing these doctors.. I don't know if you were rotating doctors if you didn't get results and such many people do that. Any medication be it benzoyl peroxide Retin-A and many others will dry out the skin. Now many doctors are dumb and they give 10% benzoyl peroxide when 2.5% is just as effective except 10% is much more irritation. I think when you tried soolantra and I believe azelaic acid.. and I'm pretty sure they would give you an oral antibiotic like doxycycline which is for rosacea it's none of that work especially the doxycycline which is only 40 mg. That should have said this is not rosacea.. because between that Metro gel whatever they give.. you going to get some relief if you have true rosacea. Let's thank God you don't have rosacea because that's a lifetime commitment and it can flare it up at anytime. It sucks that you had to go through that but you played a big part in it realizing if you put this stuff on your face and it burned so bad that you could even use it that should have been a warning sign. You called the doctor right away and say I can't even put this on it burns like hell. Sometimes you have to be a nuisance patient because a lot of them will just say oh it takes time to adjust and I'm sure you heard some of that crap. I don't mean anything against you I'm just saying that many people don't give the doctor everything the doctor needs to understand the situation. Possibly to start this all out if you would have told them about three showers a day using basic cheap soap on your face and then also being in a very cold area then on top of that you're very athletic and you're not only taking dance classes you're also teaching so tons of sweat. Maybe with that information a doctor just would have given you a gentle face wash and a gentle moisturizer and honestly in less than a few weeks you would have been much better. Granted they prescribed it, the only thing I can say is that it did look like rosacea to them if you go to 5 dermatologist and the all say rosacea..that's a pretty good consensus. Not saying you went to five I don't know if you went to more than that but not one didn't say it wasn't rosacea. And I think what you have done coming back and telling people what it was I believe you may be helping many people there are a lot of people who might be doing the same thing you were doing. You were just living life you didn't have any skin problems until all that manifested. It always shows in life less is more. Believe me I'm sure you've seen people who apply too much Retin-A and they learned their lesson pretty quickly in fact that's the number one thing people put on too much when they are told just a pea sized amount for your whole face. And then in about 10 days or 2 weeks they look like they were in an inferno. But retinoids are amazing, you just need a doctor and you just need the patient to comply. People think of retinol the garbage you get from the store of course you're not going to have much reactions because guess what you're not getting any results. This makes benzoyl peroxide and other medications seem so weak it's even used for rosacea because it builds up your collagen it literally thickens your collagen underneath so the redness is not as apparent. And it does wonders for aging, most people start using it in their mid-to-late twenties to prevent aging or at least minimize as much as they can. It's a 2-in-1 solution because if you have acne it's the best thing two birds with one stone. You also have to realize there's another type of acne called fungal acne. Anyways I'm just so happy that you actually fixed your skin and it's getting better and better and it looks pretty much flawless.

hypochlorous, what does that do?

@@seabreeze4559 it’s a very gentle non irritating/hypoallergenic disinfectant. It helps soothe and support your skin. You can use it to care for cuts and scrapes as well; it’s even safe for babies. It’s great for those who have damaged skin barriers and whose skin doesn’t tolerate anythingz

I got the same problem. The doctor called it mask-induced rosacea and gave me azelaic cream. I think my mask was too thick and probably dirty from lipstick, etc. It is not fading away, unfortunately. Can you please tell me what you are using?

And you can try to.used dove sensitive.

they're definitely FUN and unique! i just wished they performed a little better

yeah this video is so dumb and pointless

@@lemonstealer2902 I agree. She’s just on some anti Western medicine rant. She had rosacea and found restoring her weak skin barrier helped it.

@@user-xy4ff5yp7bYes! I thought i had rosacea but apparently it's not just red skin. Doctors never suggested I had it because you have to have little red veins under the skin too. That's how she must have got diagnosed and multiple doctors cannot be wrong at the same time. That's really weird!

​@user-xy4ff5yp7b huh? She said she tried all of those and it didn't work. If she had rosacea that wouldn't be the case. She even pointed out saying if she were to have alcohol for example it didn't trigger it as well as the other triggers. Even with a good moisture barrier the rosacea would still flare up if you were to have something trigger it. What she says is true. Some people can have a poor moisture barrier and it not be rosacea...

Wow, you lot are all better than years at medical school Dermatologists learn at for years. There are so many skin that no one has a clue about......of course apart from you expert's.

Try monistat 7. I know it sounds crazy but it is anti fungal and very gentle. I’ve been putting on my face day and night for a few months and the redness is almost gone. Also super hydrating moisturizers. Hope it helps! Check out Peaches skincare she talks about it.

thanks so much :)

really happy to read this! thanks you :)

it's not one of the cause, that's the cause. I've read a lot of stuff and the thing is: People with rosacea or eczema have, determined by genetics, a weak skin barrier. You need to moisturize, 2L of water, spf and after some months you'll get better.

@@pedrosousa8749 Rosacea isn’t solely caused by a weak skin barrier. Dumb af

Hi Bee. How's the update of your skin? 🙂

@@BoyPaoLosKiE Thanks for asking! My skin has it’s ups and downs. I realize diet has a major effect on my skin (and not just with junk food, even stuff like spinach can make me flush a lot). But skin looks better when I use simple wash and lotion (like Cerave) and giving my skin a break from makeup as much as possible. 😊
