Facing the Music...of getting older

So I was visiting Dr. Sapijaszko...you know the EZ Rock Doc (check out his page here) because I had noticed some tiny red veins on the side of my nose and whenever I had my picture taken I noticed that my nose always seemed a little red.  The good doc informed me that I had rosacea  a common skin problem.  So what do you do...  Well for a start you can keep a written record of when flareups happen. This can give you clues about what bothers your skin.
Use a sunscreen every day that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Make sure it has a sun-protecting factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
Use a mild moisturizer if it helps, but don't put irritating products on the face.

The Doc has mapped out a treatment plan for my case that involves topical cream, Oral medication and some skin treatments at his office.  I'll be logging my experiences on this blog as they happen so check back often for my progress report.  The important hing is that there is help for skin conditions of this type.  If you are having problems consult a dermatologist.  In fact, ask our EZ Rock doc here askthedoc@ezrock.com
