RE: Pink Rash on Face
Metro gel prescription from doctor helps me when Rosecea breaks out in pimple type form. I agree with the above poster about seeing a doctor if it is persistent or you have other symptoms like traveling swelled up painful joints, mouth sores, etc. I was diagnosed with Lupus 10 years ago. Lupus can cause a butterfly rash on face. Not trying to scare you, it could be caused by something as simple as too harsh of a face soap or an allergy.

Instead of the antibiotics, I wash everyday with tea tree oil soap. It is a natural disinfectant. It helps. I buy the soap at Trader Joe's ($3.00/2 bars).

RE: Pink Rash on Face
I had a bout of Rosacea a couple of times over the last 10 years. The only cure is oral antibiotics! I understand about the affordability of a dermi, etc., but if you have a family doc or know someone who can write you a prescription for antibiotics, do it! I tried all the creams too. No success. Rosacea is an infection so antibiotics are necessary! Good luck!

RE: Pink Rash on Face
Thank you all for your help and I will take everyone's suggestions. I have an appointment to see my doctor, and I did google also and found some interesting info. Jan, I appreciate you sharing your story. Thank you very much for your advise. I too am a Chocoholic, coffee drinker, stress too much and love, love, love spicy food. Go figure and I wondered why ha? Again thank you all for your great advise.
God Bless.

RE: Pink Rash on Face
I would see your family doctor.. A rash on cheeks is a classic sysptom of Lupus. Better to know than guess on something like this.

RE: Pink Rash on Face
I have rosacea. Mine does not itch. Mine comes and goes. I've found that what I eat and my stress level are triggers for breakouts. If I get over stressed, I know there's going to be a breakout. Really hot, spicy food, caffeine, too many sweets, all cause breakouts. I have eczema also, and too many sweets will make my eczema flair up in a minute. I love coffee, but I try and only have one cup a day. Saves money too :). I also love spicy food, but try to keep it at a minimum. Chocolate is a weakness, but I know if I have to much, I will suffer. These foods might not be your triggers.
You will have to do trial and error to find out what foods are. I also use Eucerin, and it helps sometimes. They have a redness reliever, but I can't tell much of a difference in it and the regular Eucerin. Try to keep your face covered with a hat or umbrella when in the sun. You can try sunblock, but it makes my breakouts worse. Find a very gentle cleanser for sensitive skin. I use the Neutrogena bar for sensitive skin. It's about $2 a bar and lasts a while. I am having a flair up right now. It's due to stress, but I did eat a couple pieces of my mom's pound cake :) Do some research if you have the time.
