Fun in the Sun? Rosacea help?

This is the first year in many that I have had a flair up of Rosacea. Of course it is recommended to stay out of the sun . But since this skin problem is so common, I was wondering if anyone else has this honor and what skin care and/or sunscreen that has worked well to minimize the flairups when at the beach or pool.

Vanessa,

I have a good friend who's daughter suffers with Rosacea. I have gone on vacations with them in the past where she has had an out-break.

I know that she had a topical antibiotic, as well as an oral one. She was given them from her Dermatologist. She would use a grease-less sunscreen, although I don't remember which one.

Do you have a dermatologist that you can call for advice. I think the prescriptions cleared up the problem rather quickly, as I recall.

Thank you, my doctor did prescribe a topical and Claritin. On the sunny side (ha ha), I will be shopping for some nice hats. I could never give up the warm weather.

Thank you for your response.
