We have heard that some do not prefer the UX of this forum and prefer the social media style platform. However, anyone who can navigate a social media platform can learn how to navigate the forum style platform which has been around for a long time and is still being used by major corporations and anyone who says that the forum style platform is not user friendly basically is having some sort of mental block or has some sort of bias towards it. However, if you insist that you are having issues navigating our incredible amount of rosacea data categorized into forums and sub-forums or having issues with using our site index or discover our most recent activity we have made available INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THIS FORUM (REQUIRES YOU JOIN THE RRDI WITH A SUBSCRIPTION) which may help you understand better how the forum style platform works. It is not difficult, no more than navigating your favorite social media platform style.

If you haven't heard about HORSE PASTE FOR ROSACEA you will since it is the discussion at all the rosacea social media groups and has been around for sometime now. The RRDi has created a poll (requires you join to take this poll) since there has never been done any papers on which brand of horse paste is the most popular one. If you are not aware, the inactive ingredients in the horse paste brand is an issue since many brands do not include what they are or are mysterious in the amount of each inactive ingredient used. So we encourage you to join the RRDi with a subscription and take our poll which is the first of its kind and would help rosaceans which is what our non profit organization for rosacea patient advocacy is all about. Rosaceans helping Rosaceans.

Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema) is a rosacea mimic that can be quite confusing to differentiate from rosacea since if you click on Google images of eczema, it certainly looks like rosacea, so be sure to rule out atopic dermatitis (eczema). Eczema can be anywhere on the body but if it on your face, it is a rosacea mimic. Furthermore, you may have rosacea along with atopic dermatitis, therefore exczema can be a co-existing condition with rosacea.

Whether the drug is oral, topical, tincture, toner, injection, or in whatever other form there can be drug interactions with other drugs, food or drink or some other unknown factor. First, let's be sure we agree on what a drug is so we are all on the same page and what a drug interaction is as well. To LEARN MORE requires you register an account with the RRDi and subscribe.
