Thanks for asking.

The "infamous" butterfly rash associated with cutaneous lupus is Malar Rash, a little different from rosacea. It goes across the face from the forehead, down the nose and across the cheeks, hence the "butterfly" shape that gives it the descriptive moniker. Here's what the butterfly rash looks like.

There is another type of rash associated with cutaneous lupus called the discoid, or "coin," rash. Here's what the discoid rash looks like.

I have systemic lupus that affects the skin and internal organs. What fun, eh?

I found this on ZenMed for extreme rosacea treatment.

Liquid foundations certainly can cause problems for some people as they can be full of chemicals and fragrance that can irritate the skin. Liquid foundations need to be stored in a cool, dark place and have a relatively short shelf life. The rule of thumb is a 6-month lifespan for most cosmetics, but liquid and cream foundations chould be tossed in about 3 months, as they become contaminated by coming into contact with your fingers, sponges, etc.

Hope the new products you're trying work out. We all like to put our best face forward - literally, as well as figuratively.
