Wow! I was just diagnosed with rosacea a few weeks ago! Maybe we fitness types are more prone to it?? I am also putting prescription ointment on twice daily. My derm. said to be liberal with sunscreen and using foundation with SPF. There are a lot of foods that may trigger it, foods that are healthy and good for my keeping my cholesterol levels normal. Also too much exercise, weight lifting, hot and cold trigger it. I do all of this! My family doctor recommends exercise because of my HDL's and now my derm. says too much exercise triggers the rosacea. Can't win for losing! I think I will stick to my exercise and live with a red nose!! I not only have a red nose but polyp type bumps on my nose that don't look too pretty. I was just happy to hear that it wasn't skin cancer!
