Rosacea

My dermatologist diagnosed me with rosacea yesterday.
I pretty much figured I had it, I have ruddy red cheeks all the time. And acne that I can never seem to get under control. 
I guess I am a little too hard on my skin. 
Oops.

 Anyone else have this?  any suggestions or insight.
I have a bathroom full of stuff that I probably shouldn't be using.
Oh well, my kids will get the acne stuff.
He wrote me a couple prescriptions for the acne part and suggested laser treatment for the broken blood vessels in my cheeks. 
Pretty pricey...I think I will stick to concealer.

    Ugh. I don't have any helpful hints. I hope the prescription helps. I've sometimes wondered if my beloved has rosacea...

      The prescriptions are only for acne, one is topical the other oral. (yuck, I do not like the thought of another pill.) If I find anything that works I will let you know for your dh

    I'm no help either, unfortunately :( But I hope it will start getting better soon!

    the moisture cream.
