Question : I have been seeking relief for a bumpy, itchy rash on my forehead. History of rosacea. Dermatologist said bumpy rash on forehead not rosacea. History of acne. I am almost 79 and recent flare-ups have had not responded to medication. Itching and redness all over my face. Flu and Pneumonia vaccines last week seemed to increase symptoms. Went to GP for relief. He put me on Metrogel. Dried it up but symptoms returned.
