This is unexpected. Anybody here with the Curse of the Celts?

Mite be bugs crapping on yer face, which understandably objects to the insult, and seek out a physician, if you can find one willing to see you, about a round of tetracycline antibiotics to slay the scourge.

Yup.

Buy bulk black walnut husk, and extract it into vodka over the course of 3 weeks or so in a cool place —agitate it every coupla days.

Or make a tea.

Drink 3-5 ml of that right b4 bed until it’s all gone —could even take 3 months, but it works.

You can also use wormwood.

We are what we are because of geography and climate.
Great example used with the remaining Celts...once from middle Europe (north Italy) but finally pushed to the outrmere.

No. But you will likely wipe out the eubacteria in your gut which help you.

Then if afterwards you don't take probiotics (90% of doctors won't breathe a single word about them to you) you'll be perfectly primed for total take-over by candida albicans or some fungus.

Then if any doctor "gets it" after some years of worthless and expensive office visits he'll put you on a very powerful and expensive anti-fungal that will hurt your liver and probably not wipe out the bug.

Your original aim was ending your rosacea, but now you're poor and WAY less healthy than before. The guys who didn't help you? They're richer absolutely feel like they saved you.

Dermatologists tried to turn rosacea into a disease; and the public revolted finding rosacea occasionally attractive. Desperate, the industry is trying to make people think gross things when they think of rosacea. Even if people don’t buy the mite feces hypothesis, the thought of facial feces alone will make people be turned off at the thought of rosacea.

Famous victims of rosacea include Princess Diana, Bill Clinton, W.C. Fields, Cameron Diaz, Mariah Carey, and oh, yes... FREAKING SANTA CLAUS!!! I don’t yet, but I won’t be shocked if I get it.

Sure, and here I was thinking
it was caused by too much sun
and too much drinking.

I had a mild form a few years ago and found a product called Prosacea which cured the area; the redness never returned.

Hartz 3-in-1.

Kills all that stuff.

Don’t ask me how I know; let’s just say I went through a period I was too poor to buy a new mattress.

I had acne since I was a teenager. It kind of went away but not completely from 25-45. Came back with a vengeance. Tried tetracycline but didn't cure it. Finally took Accutane. I know, bad on liver, knees, joints, dries up everything (and I mean everything, send me Freepmail I'll explain further).

Finally at 53 I'm pretty much over it. Yeah, I suffer a little for having taken it. Joints will never be the same, lost some hair on my arms (weird one I know), still dry in several areas (unmentionables included), but no more rosacea.

Anyone wanting to try Accutane, contact me. I'll clue you in.

Uhm no.

I have a touch of it and have a few friends who have it worse.

We spread cortisone, aloe very and occasionally Metronidazole.

I also go to the tanning booth if it gets out of hand.

I’m allergic to Tetracycline. What else works?

Things that exacerbate Rosacea, according to Dermatologists:
Exercise
Outdoor heat and sunlight
Sex
Laughing
Excitement
Alcohol
Chocolate
Caffeine
Spicy foods
In other words, if you want to avoid Rosacea, find a cold cave to live in, eat nothing but grains, be a hermit and read boring books by candlelight.

...is known as the "curse of the Celts" as it is thought to especially affect people with very fair skin.

My wife is so Irish I can read the newspaper under the covers.

If the Rosacea is caused by the Demodectic mites, why isn't anyone using mitaban directly on the area? Works on dogs. It would only take a weekly treatment for six weeks to rid the body of them completely.

Vets treat demodex (mange) with Ivemectin. You can buy it at the farm store.
