So, over the past two years, the skin on my face has gotten more and more red as time has gone on and my complexion has gotten cruddier and cruddier looking. I never really had facial acne all through highschool and even now, I don't really have any. But the fact that I look pathetically sunburned constantly isn't good.
I'm going to war here.
This is definitely not the worst physical ailment I have. Next to celiac's and the fact that my left knee is permanently screwed up because of something stupid I did while using a press at the library back in September, it isn't that big of a deal. But is it annoying to look in the mirror every day and despite taking good care of your skin, you see a lobster.
I went to Walgreen's and bought almost every over the counter thing they have for rosacea. L-lysine amino acids, Eucerin, prosacea, cetaphil, the works. We're going to try it. And if anyone else has any advice on how to deal with skin irritation, please fill me in.

I would suggest that you ask your doctor about Metrogel 1% and Oracea
They work great

my naturopathic dr also has me avoid dairy. it has a protein that worsens Rosacea. I think the L-Lysine has been the most help. Also, I don't know your age, but hot flashes were making me glow like my face was on fire. I now take Phyto-B which is a homeopathic formula of plant estrogen and progesterone and that helped too. Best of luck.

Try homeopathic sulfur. Also, stop buying supplements at Walgreens, they generally are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to overall quality/bioavailability.
AVOID
Sugar
Spicy Foods
Caffeine
CONSUME
Fish Oil(3-4 grams daily)
Borage Oil(500-750mg GLA)
MSM(4000-6000mg daily)
Vitamin C(1000-2000mg daily)
Homeopathic Sulfur(30C)
A quality Multivitamin(NOT CENTRUM)
Drink PLENTY of water and eat lots of fresh fibrous veggies such as broccoli.
This routine has led to dramatic improvements in my overall rosacea.
