Does anyone here have it and if so then what do you use to treat it ? Obviously it can't be cured but treatment seems limited so any advice or info would be welcome

Yes. Was given tablets to take for 6months and cream.

Ive found out by cutting certain foods that that helps.

Thanks.

Im using prescribed antibiotic cream and thats worked very well with clearing up the spots and i rarely have a spot now but on the rare occasions i do the cream and tea tree oil clears it up quickly.

The redness/broken veins/blushing/flushing is still a problem though and is on my face, neck, upper chest and sometimes upper arms. I use make up on my face but cant use it lower than that.

A work colleague had it and was given cream for it

But noticed it came on more when drinking alcohol

And at the time was taking supplement tablets (can't remember what ) but they start it off to

Stopped taking the tablets and drank less and it went away

Thank you.

Alcohol can aggrivate it for some people but doesnt cause it. Its occasionally a trigger for mine but i rarely drink except when im at home so thats not a problem for me.

Iv had it all my adult life and had it long before i took any supplements or medication so they dont aggrivate mine.

Iv used an antibiotic cream for the last 11 months and that has 99.9% stopped the spots but the redness/blushing/flushing is a big problem still.

No not at all. The spots are sorted 99.9% of the time.

The redness/flushing/blushing/broken veins are very bad and between them cover my face, neck, upper chest and upper arms.

Im frequently told iv had to much alcohol (far from it), am embaressed (only by their stupid comments), going thru the menopause (yes but i had all those problems before too) etc etc.

It stops me living how i want to, i seek to hide away most of the time, its painful. It depresses me.
