rosacea
"I was working with a close friend installing a line to an ice-maker in my home when he asked what the rash on my face was. After a little bit of a cussing match I knew it was not acne. I had done pre-med before switching to teaching and diagnosed myself with rosacea. I dealt with for about 5 years when of all people, my opthamologist asked if my face was always dry and red...whoa. Well, I said yes and I hated it. He said "Want fix it?" What more could I say. 2 to 3 days in on Doxycyline and I was clear skinned again. The only minus is that it does upset my stomach, but I just found out about eating first and sitting up for 30 minutes. I had been taking it before bed time well after dinner. Now I take it right after dinner with water. Voila'"
