So. My face is now swollen enough that women (not men) are noticing. I tried to make an appointment with my normal dermatologist, but he's booked to the end of August. Then I tried with my GP's partner, but she doesn't do dermatology anymore.

Finally, I called the guy my boss used when he was rather severely burned. Wonder of wonders, he had an open appointment tomorrow *and* he takes our insurance. Yay! And he's easy to get to.

People with rosecea:

Does your face ever feel like it's been sunburnt? Because that's how mine feels right now - tight and tingling. Including my ears.

The metrogel, my rosecea med, made it feel better, which is more than I can say of my other "remedies", although I'm thinking of getting Benadryl creme. Double dose of Zyrtec didn't help, nor did moisturizer.

I've been completely neglecting the Metrogel - I had to call my dermatologist to get a new prescription.

And I can't keep my hands off my face - I scratch itches, I pick, I peel.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Or should I call my dermatologist, whom I just saw a couple months ago, for an appointment?
