I was treating ACNE, but I was diagnosed with..

Rosacea! After trying to get rid of what I though was Acne flairs (I usually have pretty clear skin), I totally gave up on over the counter meds. and decided to go see a dermatologist. He told me "you really dont' have acne, you have rosacea". I was ooooh, ok so what is that? He explained the symptoms and I went through all of it. My face would get red, and with bumps on my cheeks. Several dry spots, or patches. Breaking out on my chin with these huge zits, that were not white heads or black heads, more like cysts...blood-shot eyes in several occasions. After visiting with him he prescribed Avar-E and Oracea...My skin has finally cleared up and I visible changes appeared within 3 weeks...I am still on Oracea and use the cream occasionally now. No more breakouts,huge bumps...some redness sometimes because Rosacea has no cure. I am happy now. I now also changed my moisturizer to Cetaphil 50 SPF from Gladerma. I was using before going to the doc just Differin but that alone was not working...
