This rash is really getting to me. As it is on my face it is difficult to hide. I have naturally pale skin so that makes it even worse. In order to try and hide it i usually wear my glasses all the time. it has been on my face for almost a year. it doesn't itch or hurt at all, I don't even know its there until i see it. it spreads across my nose and a small bit onto my cheeks. as i have said, none of the creams are working, i even tried some natural remedies and they did not work. the doctors say that it is serborrheic dermatitis, but none of the creams to treat that worked. Please help if you can.

Hi Anon
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHer!
I don't blame you in the slightest for wanting this cleared up. Our face is usually what people see first and what we all focus on when speaking to someone. Everyone has the right to wish for clear skin!
Have you heard of Rosacea? It sounds like this might be what you are suffering from.
Rosacea is described in Empowher's encyclopedia as "Rosacea is a skin disorder that causes chronic redness of the face. It can also cause swelling, tiny pimples, and the appearance of broken blood vessels. Rosacea usually affects the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose, but the ears, chest, and back may also be affected. More than half of people with rosacea also have mild eye symptoms, including redness, burning, and watering—the so-called "ocular rosacea.""
Please check out our Rosacea page here and tell us what you think - do you recognize these descriptions and symptoms?
