Facial rash help needed

[shinyclean]

I am a 55 year old female and have had this facial rash off and on for a few years.
It's a red pimple/blister like rash on my nose and cheeks, sting & itch when it first shows up. Sometimes the rash disappears over night, then returns later in the day or next day or goes away for a few weeks.
It's intermittant...right now I've had it for about 3 months on going.

So far, one Doctor gave me ACNE cream and another gave me cortzone cream...I'm not happy with these.
I'd like to know what the rash is Roscea or what?

Any ideas on what might help?

No, I haven't had any antibiotics for this condition.
The Doctor's seemed not to take me serious.
So I haven't followed up with my skin problem with the HMO I have.

I don't have the spider like veins on my cheeks.

Hi

Rosacea is a differential for any acne like rash on the area of the face. The involvement of the cheeks and the nose may strengthen the diagnosis. The area of the cheeks and the nose are usually involved as well as the eyes. The rash of rosacea appears to be thick and this may present with spider like veins on the surface of the skin. When these are present then the rash of rosacea is likely. Topical antibiotics are usually given for rosacea. Oral antibiotics may also be employed for more effective results.

Have you been prescribed any antibiotics for your skin condition?
