I came to conclusion that so many people have Rosacea and SD. So, now if you have SD are you more prone to getting Rosacea or do most of you have SD then got Rosacea from using to many steroids? This is what confuses me. The reason is because I have SD and am getting some of the symptoms of Rosacea. How can they tell the difference?
You were right so many of the people have both rosacea and SD and most have both because they used steroids for to long. If you have SD or rosacea you are bound to get both, they are closely related. I have both. I had eczema outbreaks on my face from the time I was a kid as I recall. Then when I was about 14, I starting getting SD. I then used steroids on my SD till I was 24, and that turned into SD and rosacea. I have had real trouble past two years with both, but I am coming around very well now. I took accutane and waited the 6 months after and I use Elidel for my SD outbreaks and it works great. Some of my oil has returned after the accutane, so I think I'm going to go back on it after a few more IPL's.
