Holy crap, Gar. Glad you're all right! Take care of yourself, man, that's scary. Definitely not minor league stuff.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
How scary, Typo. I'm glad you're OK.
Thanks lisah. My face feels way better today, so something in yesterday's combo of treatments (Badescu & cortisone cream) worked.
It was Sparky who mentioned Mario Badescu helping with rosacea: paging Sparky1 for product rec
Thanks -t
Who was it who recommended Mario Badescu for rosacea? I want to make sure I bought the right stuff. The keratoplast creme soap?
I use the cream soap or the make-up remover soap, the chamomile cleansing lotion, and the aloe moisturizer. For me, if I go to anything else, the rosacea comes back. When I tried another moisturizer, the rosacea stayed away but I got a bit of eczema.
I seem to love all of the things that irritate rosacea: red wine, hot yoga, coffee . . . so the fact that I can keep it at bay without any metrogel by using the Badescu stuff was a big win.
If this Badescu stuff can keep my face from flushing bright red because of EVERYTHING and more capillaries from being visible in my cheeks, I will pay pretty much anything for it. What is this witchcraft?
I don't know what it is, but it works for me. YBadescuMV. Heaven knows I tried just about every other "good for rosacea" cleanser on the planet.
What's the name of it?
The Badescu stuff I listed above!
Thanks Sparky. I think I bought the right soap but I got the kera moisturizer, not the aloe. Will try that next time. I hear you on the coffee and the red wine. And spicy foods.
Metrogel does zip, diddley, and squat for me. I am now using Azelex cream as that makes the redness go away for a good few hours, but only the steroid creams work on the eczema for me. Still the difference between yesterday and today is ginormous, so I'm going with it.
