Hi everyone. I have used the soap and products on and off for a few months (i shouldnt have stopped over christmas) Anyhow, i love it all, but i have a question about rosacea. a dermotologist told me i have acne rosacea (Which i dont doubt), but although i get blotchy on my forehead and neck when im stressed, or at random, im wondering why i react so badly to water. in pools, lakes, even in the shower. i now literally have to take very fast showers or tilt my head back so far so that no water even touches my forehead, because once it does its trouble for at least 24 hours. my skin looks at its best the longer i wait between showering, but obviously i cant do that, so i have to deal with the consequences. Once water touches my face in the shower i get so red all over and bumpy, and my face actually appears different for the whole day. I dont get it. is this a sign of rosacea? its not blotchy, its just all over red, bumpy and almost swollen. its horrible. Does anyone else suffer from this or have heard about it? Please help. will the treatment make that go away because its a big concern for me.
thanks
joy
