Hi. I was just diagnosed with Rubra Faceii and I'm 20 years old. I also have it EXTREMELY bad on my upper arms, but having the KP on your face is ten fold worse. I've had it on my face since I was about 8, and the dermatologist said it usually fades by age 16... obviously not always the case. I'm not exactly an adult, but it has actually gotten worse within the last year or so. You probably don't have rosacea. The doctor recommended carmol cream (urea) and Aquaglycolic face cream (lactic) which is just supposed to smooth the texture of the skin. I hate being the only kid at my school with this skin disease on my face. I feel like that is all people look at when they meet me, and I find it really hard to look people in the eyes when they talk to me because all I can think about is how ugly my face is. I feel soooo much better now, however, after discovering this site. Thank you sooooo much.
