Skin
Well, I spent the morning at the dermatologist to try and do something about my rosacea…or what I thought was rosacea.
It turns out I have essential telangiectasia, which can be taken care of with laser treatments. I also, as suspected, have seborrheic dermatitis, and probably have livido reticularis.
The last explains something I’ve had since childhood. All over, my skin is blotchy–almost as though the pigmentation is uneven. It always has been, and it’s worse when it’s really cold or really hot.
Apparently, a lot of things can cause livido reticularis and essential telangiectasia, which means the doctor wanted to do some bloodwork to make sure nothing else is wrong. She said that signs point to it being just a skin thing. But naturally, being the hypochondriacc I am, this means I will be a nervous wreck for the two weeks it’ll take to get the results. So keep your fingers crossed.
