    An Active Member is one who has subscribed or who volunteers to post. An Inactive Member is one who has not subscribed or posted in the last thirty days and is therefore restricted to guest privleges of access to the site until such time as the member becomes active again and posts. Any SUBSCRIBED member is not restricted to post within thirty days. Volunteer Active Members may waive the subscription fee if they post at least once a month. If you want to have your membership as a volunteer active member and have the subscription fee waived use the fill out this form. If you are an inactive member mention when filling out the form to volunteer that you are already registered with the RRDi but have become inactive so we can activate your membership to post.  

    Some rosaceans tend to center themselves on their own skin issues resulting in a spiral into reciprocal deep depression with a tendency to isolate themselves. Volunteering breaks this cycle. It forces a rosacean into seeing that there are others out there with even more severe cases of rosacea than what they are experiencing. Helping a fellow rosacea suffer is worth every effort you can muster. The satisfaction of volunteering as a rosacean for other rosaceans is only experienced if you take the step to offer yourself willingly as a RRDi volunteer rosacean. 

    Could you seriously consider volunteering for the RRDi? We are appealing to millennials to think about helping others with rosacea through our non profit organization so we can keep this web site on the internet with its wealth of information on rosacea. If some don't step up to the plate and volunteer the RRDi may eventually close up shop. Seriously, do you want to see this organization cease?  The statistics globally show that volunteering is dropping (read this post). Then read below why you are needed. 

    An Active Member is one who has posted within the last thirty days and has full access to the RRDi website. An Inactive Member is one who has not posted in the last thirty days and is therefore restricted to guest privlieges of access to the site until such time as the member becomes active again and full access to the site is restored. Any SUBSCRIBED member is not restricted to post within thirty days. Volunteer Active Members may waive the subscription fee. 

    If you would like to volunteer by simply joining our cause adding you name to our list and do nothing more that is the easiest way to volunteer. At the very least join the RRDi to increase our membership and if that is all you can do we understand and appreciate whatever you can do. Your email address is all we require to join. Our goal is to reach 10,000 members. And we are a grassroots, non profit organization. 

    If all you can do to volunteer is post on our website, that is probably the best thing you can do. Just post and show you care about other rosacea sufferers. Your experience with rosacea may inspire others to join our cause. Two Steps to Volunteer.

    Social Media
    Where have all the rosaceans gone? Social media. So, if you prefer Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit or any other social media rosacea PRIVATE group, why not join the RRDi and be a moderator for the RRDi Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Reddit groups?  That way you can still be in your favorite platform and be a volunteer for the RRDi. We need moderators for our RRDi social media rosacea groups as volunteers. Watch this 3 minute video below for more information:

    Volunteers are needed to recruit more members, for fund raising, public relations, writers to write posts on our member forum, editors for the newsletter, accounting/book keeping, webmasters, forum moderators, board members, researchers, Google AdWords expert, and grant writers. If you have a skill not mentioned, let us know. Why not suggest what you might volunteer to do when you join the RRDi, and in the application to become a corporate member there is a place to add a comment what your volunteer skills are.

    • This topic has been researched a lot. There are many, many published articles on this subject. We even have our own extensive post on this subject.   Think about it, is this what you as a rosacea sufferer want clinical studies and scientific medical journals to spend money on? The above article was published by the Dermatology Online Journal. 
    • Front Immunol. 2024 Feb 29;15:1382092. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1382092. eCollection 2024. ABSTRACT [This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1285951.]. PMID:38487539 | PMC:PMC10938264 | DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2024.1382092 {url} = URL to article
    • Another study on bacteria and rosacea which adds cutibacterium acens being LOWER and substantiating other papers that staphylococcus epidermis is higher in the 17  in the case group who had rosacea. No mention of other microbes, which is generally what western medicine focuses on including studies on rosacea. There are three other bacteria that are mentioned in rosacea studies which we list in this category Wouldn't it be incredible if 10,000 rosaceans got together and each one donated just one dollar and sponsored through a legal non profit organization for rosacea to investigate microbes other than bacteria, i.e., virus, archea, or for that matter whatever the 10,000 rosaceans wanted investigated by a show of hands? Could rosaceans actually come together and do their own rosacea research?

    • Dermatol Online J. 2023 Dec 15;29(6). doi: 10.5070/D329662989. ABSTRACT Research in dermatology education highlights the lack of skin of color (SOC) instruction for medical students, leading to concerning healthcare outcomes. Because of the already limited opportunity for students to have dedicated teaching in pathophysiology, management, and treatment of dermatologic diseases in medical school, we developed an educational module that addresses these gaps. We created a one-hour virtual lecture for medical students focused on common skin diseases tested on the United States Medical Licensing Examination with visual images across all skin types. A questionnaire was administered before and after the educational module to assess outcomes comparing disease identification in lighter (Fitzpatrick scale I-III) versus darker (Fitzpatrick scale IV-VI) skin tones and to determine medical school student attitudes. An analysis of 43 examination scores before, and after attending the educational module determined rosacea, psoriasis, and basal cell carcinoma to be conditions in SOC patients that demonstrated the most significant improvement (47.3%, 54.9%, and 30.8%, respectively). Our results also highlighted worse performance outcomes for diseases in SOC in the pre-examination questionnaire. Thus, our study indicates that a concise education module focused on disease presentations inclusive of all skin types may efficiently increase students' ability to identify diseases commonly misdiagnosed in the clinical setting.
