Thank you both for your comments! Very difficult to get a doctors appointment at the moment but I’ll keep on trying!

DP has this condition, but as said it does need proper diagnosis.There are creams to try which are prescribed and sometime anti-biotics for six months which can help.
Very little alcohol and wearing high factor sunscreen.

It might be better to see a GP for a correct diagnosis rather than use anything which might irritate your skin if it is not rosacea.

A doctor can prescribe Rozex cream or you might need a course of antibiotics.

Stress can cause a flare-up of rosacea.

I seem to have developed rosacea . I’m using very gentle products and have bought Rosalique which is good to cover it up. Any tips on managing this condition.
