Just diagnosed. need advice ..ro

Hi.. I just found this forum and wanted to see if anyone could give me some advice. Over the past few months I have had a problem with flushing, burning cheeks. I can't use any of my regular face creams on my face because my cheek sting. My doctor is treating me for rosacea and I am using MetroGel now. It seems to be helping a little, but I am so frustrated with this. It seems I have suddenly gone from one extreme to the other. I am sensitive to light..I could always use any moisturizer or make-up and now I can't use a thing. The only thing that doesn't burn is emu oil and it seems to be helping some. I never had a problem until around October of last year.
Thanks for listening
