shiggy headcanons: eczema edition ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡

from a person with eczema who felt very seen ily tenko shimura you’re my real one

also if you don’t know what eczema is it’s a skin condition that makes your skin hella dried out all the time it doesn’t retain its moisture and with dry skin comes an itchy hell *scratches neck cutely*

◦ he smells musty and stinks, dabi’s smoke and his dust from decay make him smell ashy and smokey, like cigarette butts

◦ he doesn’t smile or make lots of expressions because it makes his dry ass skin crack and it hurts to do it

◦ he scratches his hands and fingers a lot especially when he’s playing games

◦ spinner notices shiggy scratching his hands during games and tries to minimize it by distracting him and shoving him lightly when he sees him reaching to itch

◦ spinner gifted him a small container of lotion that he saw in an abandoned store and shiggy uses it all up on his hands (he’s too afraid to try on his face because it burned the first time he tested on his cheek) when he runs out he’s too prideful to ask spinner if he has more and tries looking for the same brand in other stores

◦ he has bad dandruff and his scalp is full of bleeding and cracked skin and he tried to be funny once by ruffling his hair and saying ‘hey it’s the first snow’ (only twice was like ‘oi shigaraki that’s pretty funny’ then his other side said ‘ew that was gross’ and shiggy never tried it again. everyone else was dumbfounded and silent)

◦ the league doesn’t have easy access to showering and normal hygiene practices but shiggy would avoid showering and washing his hands anyways because it burns his skin

◦ toga made him wash his hands once and used hot water and it felt so good but after he dried his hands his skin felt 10x worse so he avoids water

◦ hates winter because it dries out his skin and hates summer because it makes him sweaty and more prone to itching and it irritates his skin

◦ toga tried to get him skincare products before but they burned him on the first use and he never tried again

◦ picks his dead skin (lips and hangnails around fingers) and eats it

◦ chews his nails and eats the dirt (guilty pleasure)

◦ actually hates having long nails because the itching is worse with them but he doesn’t have nail clippers available

◦ rubs at his dead skin absentmindedly because it feels satisfying

◦ when he was younger and his dead skin flaked onto mon chan’s fur, he would gently brush it off and try to avoid getting it on mon chan

◦ scratched off his eyebrows because the itching was so bad

◦ sometimes wished dabi had ice instead to numb his skin

◦ has had the urge multiple times to ask dabi to burn all his skin off during particularly bad eczema episodes

◦ he always wakes up with skin flakes all over his pillow and has to flip it over to the other side everyday (someone get him clean sheets pls)

◦ has trouble sleeping because his itching keeps him up

◦ dabi notices him itching himself in his sleep because it’s loud as hell and shoves him to make him stop (not out of the goodness of his heart it’s because the noise is annoying as fuck) (it helps a little anyways)

◦ desperately wants to buy skins for his lol main but doesn’t have a credit card to pay for it (he steals from someone off the street and puts them in generational debt with transactions from lol)

◦ scratches his neck furiously when he loses a game and can’t stop

◦ when he gets super regeneration it nullifies his eczema and gives him relief but erasure taking away regeneration also takes away the relief of not having irritated itchy skin so that’s why he gets extra pissed at aizawa and holds a grudge (so cool eraser!)

◦ the reason he gets mad easily is because his skin being itchy all the time makes him super irritable

◦ when he reawakens in the new body he feels more level headed and in control and he doesn’t have to worry about his skin, loves being able to show off his new body that’s not riddled with scratches and cracked skin

Noah dating girl with atopic eczema

Soo I know this is very specific and probably not everyone is gonna relate, but as someone struggling with this condition and having big flare up this last month, I wanted to share this with you. It is important to me that this condition is spoken about, so feel free to slide in my inbox or message me if you want to talk about it.💗

*Atopic eczema is a condition that causes dry, itchy and inflamed skin. It is long lasting (chronic) condition and tends to flare sometimes. It is not contagious. The cause is unknown and there is no cure for it, only treatments that can make ot easier to lice with it.*

Noah learned about this condition when he met you.

You are used to living with it by now, but for Noah it's something new.

He sees it as any other condition and takes it very seriously.

He reads about it, because he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable by asking questions.

When you two met and it became more serious, you were scared that it will throw him off.

It's not contagious, but lots of people don't know that.

And because of that you get lot of stares and sometimes ugly comments.

When you started dating you were using your creams to make it better, but you HATE those oily creams, so you use them usually only when you know you will be in public and your skin will be seen.

As you two got closer you felt confident enough to tell him about it.

He was surprised, but just because he didn't notice it.

His reaction was very neutral, because he didn't see it as a problem, as you were scared he would.

Which was relief for you.

You stopped using your creams daily and it started showing more and more.

Noah asked some questions, mostly about how can he help, if it hurts when he touches you or if you want him to apply your creams for you.

Which was honestly one of your favorite things, him putting cream on your back and giving you a little massage along with it.

Those creams weren't so bad sinxe Noah started applying them.

But you have your ups and downs with this condition.

When it's really bad, it hurts.

It hurts like burns, and they're all over your body.

Noah makes sure you have water and your meds that help with the itching on your bed table.

He noticed that you're scratching yourself even in sleep, so he gave you one of his longsleeve t-shirts to avoid scratching yourself to blood.

He also started taking showers with you daily, because he noticed you always come out all bloody and bruised and the bathroom is like a fucking sauna.

That's because hot water triggers your skin, but it also feels really nice on your skin in the moment. But you're left with bloody hands and red skin afterwards.

So he showers with you to make sure you use warm water, not boiling hot water.

If you mention that some food or shampoo or washing powder triggers your eczema, you bet he will throw it out immediately and will look up options that are safe for sensitive skin.

When it's really bad and it effects you mentally (because it does) he showers you with love and cuddles.

He hates when it makes you cry.

Or when he sees you looking at your skin in the mirror with those sad eyes.

But what he hates the most is when you come home, obviously sad and he has to get it out of you, that someone at work said nasty comment towards your condition.

His heart aches when he sees you in long sleeved clothes almost every time you two leave the house.

It's not that you're ashamed of eczema, but you want to avoid those looks you get from strangers.

He also hates seeing you in long sleeved clothes at the band's concerts. Those venues get real hot really quick and he knows you're hot even if you say you're fine.

He makes sure to point out if your skin get's even a little bit better and he's all happy about it.

He helps you look for doctors that specialize in those conditions.

And he makes sure to attend every appointment with you, if you want him there.

He also uses it as a reason to go on vacations by the sea for a longer period than is usual, because sea helps with eczema.

Overall he helps you with everything, he helps build the confidence you lost because of this condition and he loves you unconditionally.

Remember that conditions like this don't definw you and you are beautiful and loved!💗

having the urge to write a fic on here of a Todd x reader but it involvez eczema care …

self-indulgent bc I hve eczema n I think he’d be so sweet ab it 🥺 he’d very carefully rub in the cream u use , ask if anything hurts , pain killerz or Benadryl 4 itch relief , helpz u change into different clothez if itz difficult to move , comfortz n holdz u if everything is bothering u too much , givez u ur favorite sweetz , change out ur sheetz n blanketz … yeaaaa :3

[therapyhorrorstories]

I've had a similar experience here in the USA. The motto in the hospital I was in being "this is a hospital, not a hotel."

The standard of care in that place being, in many ways, worse than a non-psychiatric hospital.

They refused to dispense meds after 10 pm or allow anyone into the common area after 10 pm. If you usually took your meds at say, 11:30 pm, you had no recourse. Same if you couldn't sleep but didn't want to wake your roommate.

You were only allowed to shower either in the morning or the evening.

It was too cold to shower in the evening due to the overpowered air conditioning. Those who didn't want to shiver all night with wet hair had to shower in the morning and risk missing breakfast.

They almost screwed up my meds multiple times, and actually did screw them up three times. Not counting the incidents where I caught their mistakes and they were fixed without incident: Once when I first got there, by not ordering my usual meds for the pharmacy before 10 pm, their arbitrary pharmacy closing time. Once when they said they could supply a medication themselves that they couldn't, which my mom had to bring from home but i already missed a dose.

And the third? Due to sensitivities, I can't tolerate the feel of a lot of textures on my hands, my eczema cream's texture included. I have to apply it every time I shower. I usually apply it to the rest of my body wearing a glove, both at home and in the hospital with permission from my psychiatrist there. I explained to the circumstances to the nurse, and instead of supplying me the glove, she was insisting "it's just lotion," stuck her bare finger into the pre-measured cup of it I was supposed to use, sniffed it, and said it smelled pretty. It's not even a scented lotion. It's not even mentholated for itch relief. It's a prescription and it barely smells like anything aside from barely detectable chemical smell. But regardless of the obvious and unneeded lie, that was unsanitary as hell, and a chemical risk for the nurse.

Where magic comes from

Sometimes I itch until I bleed and still feel the need. I see the blood, the tearing and still feel the skin that is no longer there screaming at me that something crawls along it. My hands and my scalp is where it happens. I prefer the scalp.

It's easier to hide on the scalp. Easier to forget when it finally stops, to allow to scab over. Pulling out those scabs feels good. To catch them beneath my nails and feel the tug and how they trace the hair they travel along. Oh, don't make that face. I'm aware it is gross. i like it anyway.

I hate my hands most days, red and flaky with dozens of tiny thin lines of scratches announcing to the world my lack of impulse control.

Sometimes I worry that the itch is coming from under my skin, something trying to dig its way out rather than an external reaction -what? The power in me dying to be let out? It's not. It's just eczema.

I cut my nails when it gets bad, as far back as I can to give my skin a chance to heal and then regret it when I seek relief.

None if this is the magic, you understand? There is no point in collecting my fingernails for your spells or fighting each other the napkins with my blood. Those bruises are for nothing. I do hope that you were joking about what you claimed to do with the scabs.

You should apologise to your brother. The biting was wholy unnescessary. It would have been even if the whole thing wasn't a stupud waste of time.

Yes, I'm serious. I do wish you had talked to me first. Was it Pip who told you to do this? That bastarding cat...last time I summon a familar, I'm telling you. Not worth the hassle. What else did the little shit say?

What? Canibalised my mentor? Ha! He wishes.

That old goat is still alive, thank you very much for the vote of confidence. She retired. Lives in a ground floor apartment in the city with two Irish Wolf hounds and does a lot of knitting. The wolf hounds just *love* Pip.

Yes, I know the city is too hot for wool. She finds it funny.

But you are wondering where the magic comes from. Thought you could get more by doing weird things with bits of myself that I cut off? If injesting bodily fluids made you magic my boyfriend would be a grand Mage. Oh, don't make that face. Making you think about us having oral sex is as good a punishment as any.

Sorry? So where does magic come from? No idea. No, i'm serious. This isn't a 'wait until your ready' thing.

Well, do you know where time comes from? But you can count seconds? Add up minutes? Judge how long something will take?

And other people understand it more, right?

No. I'm not calling you an idiot. I wish you would listen to what I actually say rather than react to the words you imagined out of my mouth.

How to explain this? Let's stick with the time thing. Other people made sundials, and building that only light up one day a year, right? They made little mechanised watches to count the seconds and ways to tell the hours apart from each other.

People made watches without having a single clue about where time came from. They made calenders to track the moon and their bodies. They did all of that without knowing where time came from.

That's what we are, darling. We are the watchmakers of magic, you and I. Only right now you are learning the days of the week and I'm writing entire calenders. Stop wondering about the where and the why and start figuring out the what of it. Stop looking for shortcuts.

Oh, and apologise to your brother.

What Natural Remedies Stop Itching?

Having itchy skin can be very annoying and painful. Finding relief is essential for the cause of allergies, bug bites, or skin conditions like eczema.

Since over-the-counter creams and medications are frequently utilized, many natural remedies can successfully reduce itching.

Let's explore a few of these treatments and their advantages.

Natural Remedies to Stop Itching

1. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a well-liked home remedy for a number of skin issues, including itching. Its calming qualities can help lower inflammation and offer immediate relief.

How to prepare:

Just place some fresh Aloe Vera gel on the irritated area and let it sit there for ten to fifteen minutes. As needed, repeat this procedure multiple times each day.

2. Colloidal Oatmeal

Oatmeal that has been finely ground and readily dissolved in water is called colloidal oatmeal. It creates a barrier of defense over the skin to stop moisture loss and lessen irritation.

How to prepare:

Colloidal oatmeal should be soaked for 15 to 20 minutes in lukewarm bathwater. Afterward, pat your skin dry without rubbing, as this could make the itching worse.

3. Cold Compress

A cold compress can provide immediate relief from itching by numbing the area and reducing inflammation.

How to prepare:

Apply a cold pack or some ice cubes wrapped in a fresh cloth to the irritated area and leave it there for a few minutes. To prevent ice burns, repeat this procedure without coming into direct contact with the skin.

4. Baking Soda

An easily accessible household item with anti-inflammatory qualities that can help reduce itching is baking soda.

How to prepare:

Apply a paste made from a tablespoon of baking soda and water to the affected area, and let it sit there for 10-15 minutes. After using cold water to rinse, pat dry.

5. Coconut Oil

Because of its reputation for hydrating skin, coconut oil is a useful treatment for dry, irritated skin.

How to prepare:

On the affected area, apply a thin layer of organic virgin coconut oil, and let it sit there until it is completely absorbed. For best results, repeat this process multiple times per day.

Make a cup of chamomile tea, allow it to cool, and then use the tea to soak a fresh cloth. For five to ten minutes, gently apply the cloth to the irritated area. Additionally, you can apply chamomile tea bags straight to your skin. more >>>

Embracing Nature's Bounty: Herbal Remedies for Eczema

In a world saturated with synthetic remedies, the allure of natural solutions is more compelling than ever. Eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting millions worldwide, often calls for holistic approaches that minimize side effects while addressing the root causes. Amidst this quest for gentler yet effective treatments, herbal remedies have emerged as promising alternatives. Let's embark on a journey through nature's pharmacy to explore the realm of natural herb remedy for eczema.

Understanding Eczema

Before delving into herbal solutions, it's crucial to grasp the nature of eczema. Characterized by red, inflamed, and itchy skin, eczema manifests in various forms, including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. While genetic predispositions and environmental triggers play significant roles, the immune system's dysfunction and impaired skin barrier function are central to its pathology.

Herbal Allies in Eczema Management

Herbs boast a rich history in traditional medicine, offering multifaceted benefits for skin health. From soothing inflammation to promoting tissue repair, these botanical wonders can complement conventional therapies or stand alone as holistic remedies. Here are some notable herbs renowned for their efficacy in eczema management:

Calendula (Calendula officinalis): Renowned for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, calendula is a cherished herb in herbal medicine. Its soothing effects make it a popular choice for alleviating eczema symptoms, including itching and redness. Calendula-infused creams or ointments can be applied topically to affected areas for relief.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): Chamomile's gentle yet potent anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties render it a valuable ally in eczema management. Whether used in the form of tea for internal consumption or as a topical application, chamomile can help calm irritated skin and promote healing.

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, licorice root extract holds promise in eczema treatment. Its active compound, glycyrrhizin, exhibits corticosteroid-like effects, making it effective in reducing itching and inflammation associated with eczema.

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis): Aloe vera's cooling and moisturizing properties make it a popular choice for soothing eczema flare-ups. Its gel, derived from the succulent leaves, can hydrate dry skin, reduce inflammation, and accelerate wound healing, offering much-needed relief to eczema sufferers.

Burdock (Arctium lappa): Burdock root, revered for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties, is increasingly recognized for its potential in managing eczema. Whether consumed internally as a tea or applied topically as a poultice, burdock can help purify the blood, alleviate inflammation, and promote clearer skin.

Neem (Azadirachta indica): Neem, often referred to as the "village pharmacy" in Ayurvedic medicine, possesses potent antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its oil or extract can be applied topically to eczema-affected areas to relieve itching, reduce inflammation, and prevent secondary infections.

Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis): Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), evening primrose oil is prized for its anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects on the skin. When taken orally or applied topically, it can help improve skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, and alleviate eczema symptoms.

Incorporating Herbal Remedies into Your Eczema Care Routine

While herbal remedies offer promising benefits, it's essential to approach their use with caution and informed guidance. Here are some tips for incorporating herbal remedies into your eczema care routine:

Consult a healthcare professional: Before experimenting with herbal remedies, consult a qualified healthcare provider, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or have underlying health conditions.

Patch test: Perform a patch test before using any herbal remedy to check for allergic reactions or sensitivities.

Choose quality products: Opt for reputable brands and sources when purchasing herbal remedies to ensure purity and potency.

Monitor effects: Keep track of how your skin responds to herbal remedies and adjust usage accordingly. Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur.

Practice holistic care: In addition to herbal remedies, adopt a holistic approach to eczema management, including proper skincare, stress management, dietary modifications, and lifestyle adjustments.

Conclusion

In the pursuit of eczema relief, the bountiful offerings of nature beckon with promising herbal remedies. From calendula's soothing embrace to neem's purifying touch, these botanical treasures offer holistic support for managing eczema symptoms and promoting skin health. By embracing the wisdom of herbal medicine alongside conventional therapies, eczema sufferers can embark on a journey toward greater comfort, vitality, and well-being.

Where can I find reliable skin infection treatment in Ludhiana?

Are you searching for a skin infection treatment?

The best way to get permanent relief from skin infections is with natural medicine, which means Ayurveda.

Unhealthy eating habits and lifestyle choices are the cause of this, as they directly affect the digestive system of the body and can seriously harm your health. Numerous investigations have determined that a sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet are the root causes of fungal infections and other skin-related disorders. You may end up becoming dependent on creams and steroids as a result of this. 

People often say that a person's skin is a reflection of their internal wellness.

There are many Skin Care clinics in Ludhiana which provide a solution to your problem. But based on my experience and analysis , Dr.Sharda Ayurveda takes on traditional Ayurvedic treatment that supports physical, mental, and spiritual healing. This hospital treats people from all around the world with Ayurvedic medicine and has the best success rate in treatments. With the help of Ayurveda, she treats eczema, psoriasis, and fungal infections on skin. Last year I was suffering from eczema. I had a red patch on my right arm, which annoyed me because of the itching, and the skin became weak and lost its moisture, which resulted in darker, rougher, and thicker skin. I took many medications from different doctors and applied creams, powders, and lotions to my skin. But I was unable to get permanent relief or a solution. One day I was scrolling on Facebook, then I reached out to the Dr.Sharda Ayurveda profile and searched for my skin problem on their website, and I was shocked when I knew that this hospital was treating 50+ diseases under one roof. Furthermore, they have four branches in Punjab. Several people get a permanent solution to their diseases. The very next day, I visited their Ludhiana branch and explained my whole situation about my skin infection to her doctor. She recommended guidelines for diet modification, exercise, and taking and applying herbal medications to the skin. After almost 3 months, I got better results with Ayurveda and the problem of skin infection was permanently solved. My skin was crystal clear, and all the red patches and dryness were removed. I am really thankful to the Dr.sharda Ayurveda clinic doctors for helping me overcome my disease.

Do You Have Skin With Rosacea?

Acne Rosacea Skin with Rosacea presents itself with redness on your skin, visible blood vessels, bumps (they can be solid bumps or pus-filled pimples), and pimples that primarily affect the center of your face. Around 16 million Americans suffer from Rosacea, making it a widespread condition, yet the exact cause is unknown. Read on to learn what triggers rosacea flare-ups, symptoms to look out for, and proven treatment options to reduce facial redness and irritation from this troublesome skin disorder.

Skinception's Soothing Rosacea Serum

What is Rosacea and What Causes It?

Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin condition that results in pronounced facial redness and bumps that resemble acne. It typically begins between ages 30-50 and tends to affect those with fair skin. While the cause is unknown, rosacea often runs in families and has been linked to immune system dysfunction, microscopic mites living on the skin, and blood vessel abnormalities.  The condition develops in phases, beginning with flushing and visible blood vessels on the nose and cheeks. Without treatment, facial redness becomes more persistent, the skin may thicken and enlarge, and bumps and pimples appear. In severe cases, the nose may become swollen and enlarged from excess tissue. Ocular rosacea can cause red, irritated eyes.

What Triggers Rosacea Flare-Ups? 

Many factors can trigger rosacea flare-ups and worsen symptoms. Common rosacea triggers include: - Sun exposure - Hot weather or overheating - Spicy foods - Alcohol - Emotional stress - Hot beverages - Certain skin care products - Strenuous exercise Avoiding personal triggers is key to preventing flare-ups and keeping rosacea under control. Keeping a rosacea diary can help identify your unique triggers.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Rosacea

Rosacea Rosacea has several distinct signs and symptoms to look out for: - Flushing or frequent blushing  - Persistent redness on the nose, chin, cheeks, and forehead - Small blood vessels visible on the face - Acne-like bumps or pimples on the cheeks, nose, and forehead - Watery, irritated eyes (ocular rosacea)  - Thickening or enlarged nose tissue (advanced rosacea) - Burning or stinging facial skin The presence of one or more of these symptoms may signal rosacea, especially if the redness lasts longer than 10 minutes. See a dermatologist for an evaluation.

Ocular Rosacea

A subtype of rosacea known as ocular rosacea causes irritation and inflammation of the eyes. About 50% of people with rosacea also experience ocular (of or connected with the eyes or vision) symptoms. Signs and symptoms may include redness, burning, itching, excessive tearing, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and sensation of a foreign object in the eye. This condition results from inflammation of the oil glands around the eyelids. Left untreated, it may cause eye dryness, recurrent styes, swollen eyelids, and potential vision loss from corneal damage. Using preservative-free artificial tears, warm compresses, and ophthalmic medications can help control symptoms. It is important that you see an ophthalmologist at the first signs of eye irritation, as prompt treatment is key to preventing permanent eye problems. Maintaining eyelid hygiene and following a rosacea skin care regimen may also provide relief.

Rosacea Treatment

Since there is no single test for rosacea, diagnosis involves assessing symptoms and ruling out similar conditions like acne, allergies, and eczema. Once diagnosed, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing progression. Self-help measures include avoiding triggers, using only gentle skin care products, and diligent sun protection with SPF 30 or higher. Green-tinted makeup and creams can neutralize facial redness.  If self-care isn't enough, medications or laser therapy may be prescribed. Common rosacea treatments include: - Topical antibiotics to reduce inflammation - Low-dose oral antibiotics  - Topical brimonidine to constrict blood vessels - Intense pulsed light therapy to diminish small blood vessels - Isotretinoin for severe, cystic rosacea With professional treatment and lifestyle adjustments, most people can achieve control over rosacea symptoms and keep flare-ups to a minimum. Though incurable, rosacea can often be effectively managed with the right care plan.

10 Tips for Skin Care and Reducing Rosacea Flare-Ups

Implementing a combination of self-help measures and medical treatment can help those with rosacea lead normal, fulfilling lives virtually free of flare-ups. Here are 10 tips: - Identify and avoid your personal rosacea triggers - Apply broad-spectrum, mineral sunscreen daily with SPF 30+ - Protect your face with wide-brimmed hats outdoors   - Choose gentle skin cleansers labeled “non-irritating”  - Handle skin gently, avoiding scrubbing or harsh products - Apply moisturizers and cosmetics designed for sensitive skin - Reduce skin irritants like alcohol, spices, heat, and extreme temperatures - Drink plenty of water and eat a healthy, balanced diet - Manage emotional stress through self-care practices like yoga - See a dermatologist to create a customized treatment plan Controlling rosacea takes patience and perseverance, but significant improvement is possible. Pay close attention to your unique symptoms and triggers, and be proactive with self-care and medical treatment. With the right approach, it is possible to minimize rosacea's visible signs and live life normally.

National Rosacea Society Survey - Insurance Cover for Rosacea Patients

The survey was conducted by the National Rosacea Society and published on July 25, 2023. The findings show that while most patients have insurance coverage for prescription rosacea medications, few have coverage for laser treatments, resulting in many patients paying high out-of-pocket costs or delaying treatment. Here is a summary of the key findings from the survey: Survey FindingPercentageHave health insurance97%Insurance covers some or all prescription rosacea medication71%Insurance covers laser/light therapy3layed treatment due to lack of insurance or high copays52%Paid out-of-pocket for rosacea treatment66%Out-of-pocket $100013%Results from a survey of 560 rosacea patients.
