If you let it get you down though it may strain the relationship...same with in andmag79's reply. It sounds both yours and his SO don't have a problem with the condition, so why let it get you down. If they are willing to "show you off" to friends or family or just want to be with you, you should accept that as a good thing and be happy about it. I know there are times where it's hard to see the good with this thing, but it sounds like you have something here that you don't want to lose by being sad. In other words, the condition itself may not drive this person away, but if you are constantly not feeling well and not wanting to go out that might drive them away. Go out and enjoy yourself and be happy someone enjoys spending time with you. <!--more--> Eric He may not understand the feelings you go through, but he seems to be

Thanks so much for replying to my message. It helped a lot. I just hope the person that I am involved with right now will understand my situation. Um right now I am taking Itraconazole tablets. Yes I have oily/acne prone skin. I have not tried accutane, but there seems to be a lot of mixed reviews for that medication. Does it reduce a lot of your SD? Like the scales and flakyness on the skin? Perhaps I will consider other options, but not before I do some serious research. cheers, Hi Mads!

Dr Nase, a leading rosacea expert says low dose accutane is one of the best treatments for rosacea. He mentions laser as the second one. It will reduce oil output as you know. I dont think you should have a problem with getting it from your dermatologist. Check out the link I posted to a low dose accutane study. Best wishes, Mads Hi Andreas,

I can totally relate to your situation. I actully think that my SD was a major factor when my relationship with my girlfriend (named Sonja, belive it or not) crashed. I often feel embarassed and hate to show myself in public when my skin is at it's worst. I had a wonderful time with her, my skin was at it's best in a long time, I was in Accutane and DRL, and I did things I never would have done today, when my skin has gotten worse. I didn't want to meet her friends, relatives as much as she would have liked. I put myself down and didn't want to embarass her, allthough she said, when I mentioned this condition to her, she had never seen anything of my SD. I do realize I have a tendency to exaggerate my condition, I think we all do more or less, after spending hours in front of the mirror each day, and popping into the restroom whenever you get a chance, just to <!--more--> get a chance to check if you're red, have any scales that needs to be removed or whatever. I actully check myself into all available mirrors when I go shopping, just to check that all is "in check". It's getting out of hand! I'm thinking of going on Accutane again, I had my best skin when I was taking it, I don't care if my nose bleeds constantly, I have to do something! I can tell you all this much, I won't get involved with either this or another woman until I feel I have this crap under some kind of control again, you just can't live you life as those with "normal" skin out there. Especially now for me, as my skin has gotten into some kind of Rosacea-mode on top of the SD. This past winter was horrible, my skin was red bright after just a couple of minuter out in the cold air. Hang in there Sonia, you're not alone... Hey there Sonia!

Just tell him seb derm can be a real bitch. Just be honest, if you feel it helps to talk about it then do, but dont dwell in negativity. What treatments have you tried. The last two posts concerned low dose accutane and laser/light therapy. Do you have oily, acne prone skin? If you do not plan to become pregnant, and your skin is bothering you a lot, you could ask your derm to put you on low dose accutane. Or ask him about laser therapy. Or ask the guy who just posted on this group about his laser experience. <!--more--> best wishes, Mads Hi,
