Are you using anything for the rosacea?
The inside of my lower lip is a mess too, blebs and stuff, same with the tongue. Ugh. I must look like a troll.
Thanks for your input.
Actually, I am not currently using anything because the condition seems to flair up and then retreat again. For me it is annoying but so far hasn't reached the stage where I went in and got medication for it. I've kind of neglected some of my other medical problems while dealing with my PN and my hypertension.
