Hi all,
I hope this question is pertinent. Rosacea and Couprose are different?
A lot of articles, studies, treatments, talks, etc... tend to mention Rosacea subtype I when we are towards face redness (cheeks, nose), telangiectasia, etc...
but how about when we acquire diffuse red cheeks and neck, red nose and telangiectasia due to sun exposure and weather (hot summers, cold winters). Without any pimples, pustules, papules or any kind of permanent/latent inflamatory reaction in the skin. Why i say this?
Well where i work (countryside) a lot of farmers tend to present those symptoms in the face and neck and i do not think they suffer from "rosacea". They have a "clean" face but weathered one, the paler ones have more proeminent redness (sometimes really tomato like), the more taned less. Also the drinking big quantities of red wine could aggravate a bit.
My case. I was mostly a city boy until 3/4 years ago. In the second year working in my parents farm (as a viticulture and winemaker) i start developing red cheeks and nose (i used to be a moderatly pale guy) and also in the neck, but not in the forehead or chin.. Telangiectasia in nose and cheeks followed (not much visible, very tiny). I remember catching way more sun than i ever did during hot summers in the farm (600m altitude in south Europe) and harsh windy winters. I have a bit more dificulty getting taned. I remember that in the summer after catching good amounts of sun the cheeks and upper nose first got bright red and then slowly started to get taned. Curiously those parts of the face i got red after catching sun are those that started to get permanent difuse redness (neck, cheeks and upper nose). Otherwise i have a "clean" face, bit of dry skin and large pores.
Could this be called rosacea or is somekind of induced couprose/rosacea? I dont remember having rosacea cases in my family.
Now for the big question. Could IPL or KTP benefit my case? I already went to a Dr. and she advised mirvaso (im afraid!) or laser teraphy (she talked about KTP for telangiectasia and IPL for difuse redness).
Thank you!
