I was diagonised with rosacea 5 months ago. I just use lacto calamine lotion and since past 3 days apply coconut oil at night for dryness. My skin is soft and no flakes. Just few red patches when too humid which is my trigger. Should I continue with it? And does rosacea go away? I'm very depressed over it. Please help.
