I've always tried my best to search for solutions to this. That's why when I read about methionine I was extremely excited. But, when I received my blood test and found out my histamine levels were normal I was crushed.
I've always had a slightly red pigmented complexion because I'm Irish. I would flush like crazy for no reason, insanely red, then back to a slightly red pigment again. But it seemed I would turn red in social situations much more so I blamed it on facial blushing. But, rosacea is linked to high stress so maybe that had something to do with it. Also, we always think we're so much more red than we truly are. I remember asking my sister if I was a tomato one time when we were out and about and she said I looked "fine" to her. Our minds can play such a huge role.
These disks just make my skin even. I'll probably always have a little pigmentation which is OK, a little color looks good. It's when it's a full on uncontrollable blush that drives me crazy.
I can't remember the last time I full on BLUSHED, even in public (and I just got out of a high profile wedding the other day). So yes, it generally has stopped the blushing.
Maybe we're blaming all the blushing on this skin condition. I feel I'm on the right track for the first time in my life.
Let me ask, for you guys is the blushing like a solid red on your face, almost like a mask? I blush like that except on my upper lip and chin where facial hair grows. I find that interesting.
One more thing, do any of you have dermatography? It's also called the skin writing disease. Research it. It's what I have. When I take a shower my face is beat red because of the heat. That's connected to dermatography. Or I just make a tiny light scratch on my face with my finger and it stays red for many minutes. I think it could tie in with rosacea.
