Any rosacea sufferers out there?

I was diagnosed a few years ago and was told my only choice was expensive laser that my insurance won’t cover.

Since then I’ve been trying anything I can to help hide the red and I feel like nothing helps.

Finally decided to see a different dermatologist today and was given a sample cream that he said isn’t for daily use just an as needed thing if I have an event to go to and insurance won’t cover and costs $500 for a full tube. I put it on and I look no different 😒 so I’m glad I didn’t go and buy it.

He told me to try redness eye drops on my skin .. and then told me laser is the best option which, again, insurance won’t cover.

Please.. anyone who deals with this.. I’m looking for ANY recommendations for relief. It’s so embarrassing. Im sick of being asked if I’m sick when I don’t wear makeup. Im sick of being told my issue is cosmetic when it’s NOT. There’s nothing cosmetic about something that makes you feel ugly.. there’s nothing cosmetic about something that gives you anxiety when you have to be seen in public and you didn’t have time to put on makeup.

Any advice is helpful!
