i don't really have an acne problem. my dad has rosacea and i was wondering if i could possibly have it, too. i'm only 20 and i read that it doesn't set in until a person's 30s but i still wonder because my face looks like the pictures i found on the web of the early stage of rosacea. does anyone have any possible things it could be or does anyone have rosacea and could tell me more about it?

Rosacea has a butterfly pattern across the nose and cheek area..it can be treated..you could have an allergy to soap ingredients and need a nonsoap product,,,or just to that particular one you're using..there's many answers to this..The best one is to see a dermatologist to give you a correct answer and solve the problem

I had the same problem.First of all, use aveeno lotion on it .Mine was always worse in cold weather. Use ivory soap and avoid any products w/ alcohol. Keep it moisturized w/ the aveeno and it should clear up soon. But continue using the lotion even after it clears to keep it from coming back.Since I started this routine mine has not come back!

What are you washing it with and how are you washing?
Don't scrub and use something to wash with that is mild soap for the face, glycerine soap is best.

Have you used any retinol products or alpha-hydroxy acids? Those can make the skin burn....

could be rosacea but perhaps you could be allergic to the soap / moisturizer you're using...
