Taking supplements, acupuncture, Budwig diet, organic skincare... you name it! I tried different ways yet I always avoid seeing doctors as I hate applying steroid which makes your skin thinner.
This time, my rosacea has become stage 3... my face and even my neck is covered with acne-like dots.. and of course it is super duper red that everyone on the street tries to stare at me.
Help! and this time I have to go to doctor's! I have witnessed my colleague Suki recovered from Rosacea stage 3. And I therefore went to this Dr Chan today.
People living in HK know it is Typhoon 8 today and basically all clinics are closed. I tried to call and of course no one picks up. But at around 1pm I got a phone call from Dr Chan. OMG He is my saviour!
Let me share what was given as treatment.
1. Medication
- Tetralysal : antibiotics often used as rosacea treatment. usually take this for 6-8 weeks.
- Rozex gel: used at night; for killing bacteria
- Protopic ointment: not like steroid, it does not make your skin thin. Yet applying this ointment might make you more sensitive to sun light.
3. Curing your heart
- Most Rosacea patients like myself ...must have gone through times when they lose their confidence..when they feel upset ...Dr Chan is a good listener. Though he does not ensure a 100% recovery (which is also the fact), he definitely give you confidence!
Alright.. will keep you posted my situation. If you ever wanna know about the doctor's info, let me know.
You must be fine!~
