I understand your frustration, but it's not as bad as you think. Imagine if your face was deformed like the elephant man instead? Wait until you get to the dermatologist because there are other skin conditions that are similar. Also, there may be other ways to treat it that you aren't aware of.
There is definitely no need to take your frustrations out on innoncent people. If people ask questions, why not take the opportunity to educate them rather than get mad at them.
I'm deaf and partially blind and multiple brain tumors. I've had 2 surgeries that have left me with a small bald patch at the back of my head. When people approach me to ask what happened, I have 2 choices. I can get mad and be rude to them for asking, or I can take the time and explain to them about my rare disease. In the end I choose the 2nd option because it makes me feel good that i've spread some knowlege and there is 1 more person in the world who has learned about Neurofibromatosis type 2 and one less person who will make fun of someone who has similar problems as me.
Believe me, you could have it a LOT worse than having a red face. I'm sorry you have to deal with that, but just be glad that's ALL you have to deal with.

Well, you may or may not have rosacea. If you do you can take meds for the symptoms that really work. The best I know of is DoxycyclineHyclate. I take 100mg twice daily. It really works. I have no knowledge of the shot that was mentioned-obviously-if one shot works then it would be better. I really doubt it only takes one shot-if so then the pills are better-cause you can administer that yourself. Either way you'll be pretty again. I didn't have that option-I wasn't pretty to begin with.

I have that too. It does suck.
Do you use any cosmetics?
I use a cover up by Mary Kay- it's a "full coverage concealer" and then I use a foundation that is "creme to powder". A little pressed powder and it satys pretty good.
Good luck!
