Is This Rosacea...?!
Question: Is This Rosacea!.!.!.!?
I get anxiety attacks often, which usually cause hot flashes/flushes!.
But I read that excessive flushing may lead to rosacea!.
When I flush and get hot flashes, I'll take my temperature to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary!. It's always under 99, so I am nowhere near fever!.
As it happens, I now constantly have red on my cheeks!. I also have very tiny red papules that are beneath the skin, but barely noticeable unless closely examined!.
So might this situation lead to rosacea!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
It sounds like you already have early-stage rosacea -- the papules, the flushing, and the redness (erythema) are the classic symptoms of rosacea!. You should go to a dermatologist as soon as possible so that you can get on therapy to prevent progression!. It's easier to prevent the progression of the condition than to try reversing the condition later on!.
