+1 on maybe seeing an allergist-immunologist. Even if the diagnosis is correct, isn't there some thinking nowadays that rosacea has an autoimmune component?
I've never had a dermatologist biopsy anything unless I asked them to, and even then they sometimes say it's not necessary.

I do find that dermatologists and PCPs usually think that my various skin rashes are contact dermatitis, even when I can tell that something internal is causing it.
