[QUOTE="Dave B., post: 99663, member: 17807"] Hi mlongtin, I am not on TRT, but I am getting labs to see if I need it. So far all I know is that my total testosterone is in the 200-range. At age 45 I was diagnosed with "adult onset rosacea." I get easy flushing in my cheeks and great acne on my forehead. As I understand it the symptoms for each person are slightly different. As I've learned, there is basically no treatment and no cure beyond "figure out your own triggers and then avoid them." For me alcohol is a mild trigger but heat is a major one. And by "heat" I mean like sitting in a sauna or steam room for 20 minutes kind of heat stress. Occasionally I'll get other food-related triggers like hot peppers or very sugary or acidic foods, but I am still after a year trying to sort it out. I think hormone imbalances might play into it a little, but if it was that simple there would have been a cure discovered for rosacea by now. There are many sub-types and it sounds like you are experiencing "Phymatous rosacea: Skin thickens and has a bumpy texture."
