Thanks and one more question on rosacea

[blood_of_winter]

First, thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier post about my sudden acne. After thinking it over, I am going to see a dermatologist and at the very least seeing what she has to say

Sorry I should have posted earlier but I was so busy.

So long story short I am in an accelerated program where I finished up 1 year of undergraduate chemical engineering classes (to be counted as an undergraduate!) and finishing up 2 masters degrees in engineering. So I am very STRESSED to say the least. And I think if you are a working girl you have the same stressful life.

I am 25 and last year when I was 24, it's a 3 year program, my face broke out like crazy. I had big pimples, and small pimples and they were just all over my face. I refuse to go to the derm because I have shitty insurance and all my experience with a dermatologist has been negative.

Well my face broke out for a good year and then I found this site! I did the following things:
1. Stopped eating or drinking any milk products!
2. Started taking vitamins
3. Stopped exfoliating my face, I used to do it every day

My face is totally under control now. I mean I still get a stress pimple, like today of course *test tomorrow* but other than that my face is pretty clear.

Also the products I use are:
1. Tea tree oil toner
2. Burt's bees blemish stick
3. Moisturel lotion

I know this has nothing to do with your question now but I think it addresses your previous question.

Good Luck

Thank you! Based on another recent entry, it seems that dairy may be a problem if it isnt organic but I eat/drink organic dairy almost 100% of the time

I am going to start taking a daily vitamin though. Couldnt hurt :)
