I'VE HAD IT!!! Need help/Advice - Open to All Other Health Topics Message Board

I'm getting tired of my problem.

My face always is flushed. ALWAYS!!! From the time I wake up its red. I have been having this problem for 3-4 years now and it has been controlling my life. I constantally live in shame, waiting for the next person to say something.
My doctor put me on something similar to inderal(sp?) 3 weeks ago and I have noticed no change yet. I'm tired of this controlling my life.

Its just on my cheeks. Since I have started the inderal(sp?) stuff, I have noticed a small decrease in the feeling of burning on my face but its still there.

So my question

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
Also, I can get pictures if that will help out

Thanks
Jake

Rosacea. See a dermatologist.

I already did and she said I would have to deal with it.

I look more into it and My face doesn't look like any of the Rosacea I've seen

Evening primrose oil is a supplement that is used for rosacea. It can be found in health stores as well as most places that sell vitamins. It should not be used if you're on seizure medication or if you experience seizures.
