Sweetie, maybe you have a condition called Roscea, and a qualified dr. of dermotology can help your problem.. Here is something to read about Roscea and it`s treatment.

Definition:
Rosacea is a skin condition that produces red oily skin and acne. The tiny blood vessels in these areas gets dilate and become more visible through the skin, appearing like tiny red lines called telangiectasias. Pimples can occur in rosacea that resemble teenage acne

Rosacea usually occurs in the central part of the face and involves the nose, cheeks, chin and/or forehead. Long term Rosacea may produce Rhinophyma, an enlarged nose.It tends to occur mostly on the face, and sometimes on the neck and upper chest. About 50 percent of the time it involves the eye area as well. It tends to occur more frequently in people with fair skin, and may be an inherited trait.

Rosacea is not primarily a plague of teenagers. It occurs most often in adults (ages 30 to 50) and affects both sexes but tends to be more common in women but worse in men. Unlike acne, there are no blackheads or whiteheads in rosacea.

Rosacea has three stages:
First stage, the face gets red. The redness often occur after cold exposure or after exposure to irritants like soap.
Second stage:the redness covers a larger area of the face. Slight swelling, pimples, and pustules develop.
Third stage: It is characterized by swelling and growth of the nose and central facial areas
Causes of rosacea:
The general causes of rosacea are:-

Foods or beverages that cause facial flushing, such as alcohol, spicy foods, hot soups, coffee, and tea, may form rosacea.
Medications: The drugs such as amiodarone or nitroglycerine-like drugs may cause roscea.
Immunological factors: The immune abnormalities like different types of antinuclear antibodies in the blood may help in the formation of roscea.
A germ called demodex follicularum found on the skin may be involved in the formayion of rosacea.
Light: Ultraviolet light plays a major role in rosacea development. It affects the dermal connective tissue as well as lymphatic and blood vessels and could contribute to passive vasodilation.
Abnormalities in blood vessels, under the affected skin may cause rosacea.
Lymphatic system: Lymphedema is suspected to play a major role especially in the severe form of rhinophyma.
Gastrointestinal disturbances: An association of gastrointestinal symptoms like gastric hyperchlorhydria, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, constipation or alimentary symptoms and rosacea has been suspected, but there is no strong evidence for any relation.
Genetic: In 30-40% of patients have a family history of roscea.
Hot baths may also induce roscea.
Symptoms for rosacea:
The possible symptoms of rosacea includes:-

Facial swelling:- The affected area of the skin will get swell due to the presence of infection in the skin.
Flushing:The frequent flushing of face and neck, are among the main symptoms of roscea.
Thickening of the skin occurs in some cases.
Dry Facial Skin :Roscea increases the dryness of the skin. It may lead to itchy or swelling property.
Pimples : The pimples of rosacea are different from those of acne because blackheads and whiteheads
rarely appear.
Facial burning sensations: The peoples with roscea, may have the burning sensation on the skin.
Red Lines In some peoples, there are red lines on the skin, called telangiectasia, which appear when they flush.
Facial skin hyper-reactivity: The skin may become hyper-reactive to cosmetics like- perfumes, deodrant, creams etc.
The bumps on the nose, may also occur in chronic condition of roscea.
Eye symptoms occur in more than half of the cases.
Treatment for rosacea:
Vitamin A derivatives such as isotretinoin are useful in the treatment of rosacea.
Two drugs - Monoxidine and Clonodine are anti-hypertensives and very beneficial for roscea treatment.
Retin-A is an effective treatment for Rosacea and can decrease the number of small blood vessels.
Use of sunscreen and avoidance of sunlight will help to prevent flares.
Exercise in a cool environment. Don't overheat.
Avoid irritating cosmetics and facial products.
Accutane is a drug taken by mouth which is reserved for severe rosacea.
Avoid hot drinks, spicy foods, caffeine, and alcoholic beverages.
CO 2 laser:It can also be treated with this technique. This is often covered by insurance because it is so disfiguring.
LTD III: It is the third generation of topical mineral salt based treatment. The minerals shrink facial vessels as well as reduce papules and pustules.
Typical treatment for rosacea is to take 500 mg of tetracycline in the morning,
Dye laser treatments:The red face of rosacea can often be improved with this method. This type of treatment is time consuming and expensive. It is not covered by insurance.

Good luck, Lookilu56

Hi! You have a lot of capillaries in that area and someone in your family back round had the same thing and you have inherited it. You said you have been to many doctors. Did you try a dermatologist? I would have thought it was roscea, but the docs would have seemed to figure that out. So you'll have to learn to cover it up. Start with clear eyes or visine to shrink the capillaries a bit. Then cover with Dermablend makeup. Look up their site. It covers anything and usually doesn't cause problems with irritating the skin. Experiment with a concealer stick and paint brush also. Even if you're male, learn camophlage makeup. Blend well. I've covered port stain birth marks and bruises etc. for people with the stuff. When you get older make sure you don't drink too much alcohol and check your blood pressure with a doctor often. In the future, I hope you can find a dermatologist that can help you.
Good Luck!

Answer 4

These doctors are dermatologists, right? Did anyone mention rosacea?
Did you start taking a new vitamin or mineral supplement? It may be building up in your system. (I just got rid of a bruising problem because I was overdoing a supplement) Go to a nutritionist as doctors usually aren't versed in the particulars, but they don't mention it.
Sometimes pharmacists can be of more help and they are free. I can understand the red nose coming out of the shower, but not all the time and so recently.
About the acne, use a clean pillowcase every night - it won't cure it, but it helps. Good luck, dear, I hope that you get some really helpful answers.

What Causes A Red Nose

Answer 7

Have you had any recent strep infections? My 16 year old son recently was diagnosed with SIBO, small intestine bacterial overgrowth from a strep infection. He told me when he eats a lot of sugar (he ate a lot at Christmas) his nose turns red (for days). I think this happens to him because the sugar (plus other food that is not on his diet) cause the bacteria in his intestines and system to eat the sugar and cause inflammation. I searched around on the internet and there is something called erysipelas, which is an infection of the upper layer of the skin. If you ve had strep recently, maybe within the last year, maybe you should have your doc check this out.

Answer 8

You really need to read "Rosacea Free Forever" by Laura Taylor (also available in electronic format here: http://www.rosaceafreeforever.info ). It's about how to permanently cure your Rosacea naturally. I cured my Rosacea permanently in only 4 days after reading this.

Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

Answer 9

Put vaseline on your nose whilst you have a cold, it makes the skin softer and if you do it at the start of the cold it nearly stops this from happening. the only downside to this is that you constantly have to do it, every time you wipe your nose with tissues. You can also use softer tissus and you can buy ones wth balm in already to help your skin.
