Laura - I’ve had the same problem. The term is Rosacea that you were talking about. For me it started with my face looking red on my cheeks (my students even commented on me having too much make-up on  - which I didn’t). I was on a high dose of Dex at the time. For me the next stage was little pustule like zits that formed on my cheeks and then they turned to broken blood vessels. It looked like crap!

I had them lasered. The procedure itself was not that uncomfortable - took about 20 minutes and cost $250.00  Insurance does not cover it. I had it done twice and it did work and got rid of all of them. It even got rid of a couple around my nose that probably weren’t related !!! That was a bonus. I’m on a much lower dose of Dex now and it isn’t nearly the problem.
