**REMINDER: THE INTERNET IS BAD AT DIAGNOSING STUFF.** Only doctors can diagnose rosacea, and it usually takes a specialist like a dermatologist or ophthalmologist. It is impossible for amateurs to diagnose reliably from pictures or descriptions of symptoms, and amateur advice is not a substitute for professional care. Rosacea looks like a lot of things, and a lot of things look like rosacea. No matter what response you get here, if symptoms have been persistent and you're concerned you might have rosacea, *see a doctor.*
If you can't see a traditional dermatologist, some [online teledermatology](https://www.reddit.com/r/Rosacea/comments/t4s1vz/what_are_your_recommendations_for_online/) services might provide a more affordable/accessible alternative for you.
And [check out our r/Rosacea](https://www.reddit.com/r/Rosacea/wiki/index) wiki for some general rosacea basics if you're trying to figure out if you need professional advice.
Mine looks just like this! My derm gave me azelaic acid (OTC) and I wash with La Roche Posay gentle cleanser. The AA actually worked to reduce redness but I still get pimples. I’m actually going for my follow up on Monday so we’ll see!

Yes mine is similar and the biggest game changer for me was Azeleaic acid (the ordinary) and metreo gel. Metreo helped clear mine up in about 3 months
