Default hyperpigmentation

Hi, you may of read some of my other threads about rosacea/sun sensitivity

It seems like the supplements weren't able to help soon enough to help me with my inflamation for the summer. I am still optimistic about this. I know it takes time.

But What can I take or do for hyperpigmintation?

It would seem counter productive to get a laser opperation done since high levels of temperature has been the problem.

It seems like it can also be a cause of too much Melanin?

I may be wrong, but I think that hyperpigmentation is when the skin gets too dark, especially in blotchy areas. People with darker skin have more melanin and are less likely to sunburn.

So, I don't think you have hyperpigmentation, because you redden and burn easily. I've read that the amino acid L-Tyrosine will help someone increase their melanin, but you'd have to research that supplement along with its side-effects.

Default Rosacea or Hyperpigmentation

Agree with the post above. Rosacea and Hyperpigmentation are caused by two different things.

No one really knows what Causes Rosacea but professionals think it may have something to do with genetics and some environmental causes such as as hot food or sunlight, as you say.

You can't fully get rid of rosacea (for now), but you can diminish the symptoms by changing your lifestyle. There are also creams that you can use to help yourself from becoming too red.

If the sun is your problem, then don't forget to use a sunscreen and stay away from direct heat of the sun when you can.

True True. I think I have roscea but I' not sure. What I do know is that I have gotten very red in the sun, some parts of my face feels like a burning sensation. It's been a month or so since it's gotten very sunny outside. The first thing I noticed was certain spots on my face was getting very red, red enough for anyone to notice, the second thing I have noticed is that my my cheeks especially the left side of my cheek has gotten brown looking, the same cheeks that has been inflamed the most.

I'm half mexican, so I shouldn't get red from the sun. It's all accutane, I know it is. I also have high liver enzymes, probably from accutane!
