Does anyone suffer from sensitive skin and bad break outs? I have this problem and it only seems to bother me when I have a flare up... Is anyone else like this?

Members connected over experiencing sensitive skin and breakouts that seem to worsen during fibromyalgia flares, with many discovering their symptoms were actually rosacea, which several doctors confirmed and treated with MetroGel or other prescribed medications. Several members shared natural remedies that helped them, including virgin coconut oil for age spots and redness, tea tree oil or witch hazel for inflammation, apple cider vinegar toner, and elimination diets that reduced breakouts by removing gluten and dairy. A recurring theme was the frustration of adult acne and increased skin sensitivity tied to fibromyalgia, medications, and sun exposure, with members finding relief through gentle products like Dove Sensitive, Neutrogena Oil-Free moisturizer, or specialized systems like Proactiv and Rodan + Fields.

I've always had really sensitive skin, I found eliminating gluten and dairy from my diet really helped with breakouts and bad skin. Did you ever try Whole30 or an elimination diet/

Hmm rodan and field are the doctors behind proactiv. And just a note, I find the new proactiv + to be much milder than the original, which would practically melt your face

My skin went haywire about 6 months ago. I tried a lot of different things and finally found Rodan and Fields. I use the unblemish regiment. The only downfall is it is super expensive.
