Rosacea and Acquired Cold Urticaria -- link?
by EmaSue, Mar 04, 2007 12:00AM
I have been struggling with rosacea for 5+ years. As of two months ago, I also now have Acquired Cold Urticaria. It now being winter, my face feels very tender and sensitive from the combination of these two conditions. I do my best to protect my face, but...
Does anyone know of a link between the two? Or is their evidence that people with one are prone to the other? It just seems so strange to me....
I am in Indiana, if anyone sees a dermatologist who knows his/her stuff about rosacea treatments and truly cares.
Thanks!

From what you describe this could be cold urticaria. I suggest you read up the following link -

Let us know if you need any further information and post us about how you are doing.
It would be advisable to consult your doctor if the lesions persist.
