Question : hi, I have rosacea on my face. around my cheeks and bumpy skin. it had gotten worse over the past few weeks but I have maintained to keep it under control now with a better diet and appropriate skin treatments. when my face warms up, especially my left side, the left side of my throat also feels irritated and dry.is that part of rosacea? I had my doctor check my ears and throat and he said nothing was there so I'm assuming the rosacea is also contributing to the dryness in my throat as my left side always feels warmer than my right side of the face

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for the rosacea and it's related problems. As a dermatologist I come across quite a many patients of rosacea in my daily practice. I can understand a female's suffering for anyhing unusual on face especially.

For helping you best I suggest you to kindly upload few good resolution pictures of both the sides of face from a close up view. For the same you have a feature on the right side of the page. Provide good resolution pictures so that the exact condition can be assessed.

Kindly also do let me know how many sessions of red light treatment you have undergone.

Hope to hear soon from your side.
