Anyone else diagonsed with Rosacea?

I recently went to my dermatologist asking about two clear bumps on my face. She said they are just growths from too much sun and not to worry. Then she asked if I knew I had Rosacea. What the heck is that I replied. She continued to tell me that I have the beginning signs of it and that I need to use Metogel to treat it. I filled the perscription but have yet to use it because I am not convinced that I have it. The only sign of it that I barely see is that I have a few small broken blood vessels...but I really had to look to see them. Does anyone that has this skin condition have any commemts? Should I just start using the Metrogel just incase? Please help.Anyone else diagonsed with Rosacea?
I have it and have chosen not to use metrogel because I don't think there's enough evidence that it works for rosacea. Rosacea is incredibly common. Every other person I know has been diagnosed with it and it seems to manifest differently for each person. If you mention it to people (especially fair skinned people) many will say ';oh I have that too'; and then will describe symptoms that are totally different than yours. Sorry I can't be more helpful but it's a confusing diagnosis.Anyone else diagonsed with Rosacea?
I have recently been (confirmed) diagnosed with Rosacea and use Metrogel. I have had several other medical problems, so they at first thought it was a Lupus (butterfly) rash and did not treat it, which was fine with me because I do not believe you should put anything on or in your body without good cause. I started using Metrogel 3 months ago because of a fair determination that I did not suffer from Lupus and it may help the rash. I would express my concerns of necessity to the dermatologist and your General or Family Physician before starting Metrogel just to be sure it's needed. If you need it, I can tell you I love it. It feels nice on your face once you get it on and it dries, you do not need a huge amount for coverage (I use it on my cheeks, nose, forehead and chin) and my skin looks fabulous (prior to using I looked like somebody had thrown scalding water in my face; almost neon red looking in the last 6 months before using and not even one tiny whitehead or zit with my period). My skin is as beautiful as it had always been before becoming ill, I again receive compliments on how nice my skin looks from complete strangers. Hope this helps.
