red face...HELP?

Question

I have a red face tat is bothering me. It is always pink and sometimes it is so red that I am asked if i am sick or what is wrong... I asked my Dr. what It was and she said it was blushing. Is there anyone else that is experiencing the same problem? Do you know what will get rid of blushing problem?

Answer 1

I get it too. There is a woman I got in contact with here on yahoo answers that also has it. It's not rosocea. I wish I knew the magic answer for it, but if you want to IM me, we can discuss it.

I do know that staying really well hydrated helps, but not completely.

Answer 2

are you sure you don't have roseasia? I have it and it often looks like I am breaking out. I take meds and use special make-up. The green cover stick helps take out most of the redness. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

It could be a form of acne called rosacia. Go see a dermotologist.
