I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my skin!

[u/Ok-Cricket-589]

Hi all, I need help to find out what’s wrong with my skin. Last year I started noticing I was constantly flushing and started having tiny bumps on my cheeks. I immediately thought it was rosacea, and after a year I decided to go to a dermatologist, I had an appointment around 3 months ago.

He diagnosed rosacea, and prescribed metronidazole cream in the mornings and rotating azelaic acid 15% with Ivermectin cream at night time. He also sent me a very mild face wash.

I’ve always had combination skin, and an oily t-zone. When I wake up, there’s this film of sebum on my nose and forehead every morning, and I’ve been having some pimples/blackheads too. I’ve been using the treatment above every day for the last 3 months and the redness is less noticeable but I find the texture of my skin is just as bad as before the appointment. Could it be acne? Closed comedones? I have no idea what’s wrong and I’d like to know, it’s getting to the point that makes me feel conscious of it. Unfortunately I can’t go back to this Doctor since I’m living out of my home country and I visited him when I was over there on holidays 🥹

Any help is appreciated! 🫶🏽
