I feel like I am too old for this crap I've always tried so hard to take care of myself, but I seem to be vulnerable to skin issues or something.

I've been fighting rosacea for 15+ years and things have just erupted! A specialist had to take me off my antibiotic (which controlled my rosacea rather well) a month or so ago and my skin is freaking out. I look like I'm 15 or something. It's horrible! I cannot stand to see my face in any way, because it's so disappointing. I find myself doing everything that I can, but things are only getting worse. HELP!!!

I'm using Purpose bar soap twice/day. No moisturizers. No make-up (which really sucks!!). And my skin cannot handle the dang metro gel nor the other topical prescribed. I am *so* tempted to re-start my antibiotic, because I just don't know what else I could possibly do.

To make matters worse, I'm on MA, so they have limits on what is covered. Meanwhile, my low self-esteem is quickly dropping even lower. I can't stand it.

fyi: The antibiotic was stopped because it was dropping my low blood pressure to dangerously low levels, along with other medications that I've either dropped or lowered intake.
