Question:
Although Rosacea ( reddening of skin) is not truly a comorbity of obesity,

it is highly a result of our diet - I was wondering if anyone who suffers from this skin disorder has had a positive experience such as it clearing up as a result of WLS? Thanks    — Kathy R. (posted on July 29, 2001)

My rosacea is much better. The diet has helped a great deal. I also use melaluca (tea tree oil-PURE) it is a natural antibiotic on my cleansed skin morning and night.I read somewhere that zinc also helps it and we take that twice a day in the vitamins. I also use an oral supplement.
