anyone got any good advice on rosacea?
it started when i was in my 30's and now has gotten to the point where there is permanent redness on my face and upper chest, and when i am the least bit warm, agitated, embarassed (why does spell check not let me spell that ANY way i think might be right?), stressed, or if i have a little alcohol, it flares up BIG TIME.
now, i am also starting to have tiny bumps in the red areas of my face.
i've tried clinique redness solutions products, and they have reduced the intensity of the permanent redness a bit, but i am hoping for some other ideas. i mostly use products for sensitive skin, without fragrance or artificial color.
thanks! (getting tired of having to apply layers of make up to my face to make it look a normal color)

Kurt, can I also recommend you go to Whole Foods and pick up some freeze-dried bacillus strains in capsules? It is very effective and much better at re-introducing fauna to your guts than yogurt, though yogurt is good. (as long as it's live) I hope they give you lots of books and a computer in the clean room. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

You're a smart man. Just make sure the yogurt has an active bacillus culture. Not all of them do. 5-6 weeks in isolation. Ugh. WiIl they let you have a computer? I hope you like to read.
