more irritation

About two weeks ago my face started getting splotchy. I'm thinking it's a rosacea flare up since exercise is a trigger. But since I started doing this regular exercise thing more than two months ago, you'd figure it would have started then, no? I can't get in to see my dermatologist until mid-June so now what? Grr. And it's looking a little bit like acne. No real big bumps or anything gross like that. It's just when I rub my hand across it, it's a little rough. I never had acne as a teen, so I'm not even sure what I'm talking about right now.

And I'm obsessing about it to the point where I am thinking of wearing makeup to get me through until I see the doc. But then I'd have to figure out what color foundation to use with my skin tone, and of course I'll need powder to set it, and then if I'm going to do that I should probably at least put mascara on if not a little eyeliner and then what about my lips, even though they're a good color maybe I'll need to add more color though, just to offset the makeup.....aiyee. And I'm heading down to NYC this weekend and I doubt I'll have time to remedy the makeup thing before then so my friends are all going to be staring at me and thinking, "Good god, look at her splotchy face! Run away! Run away!" See what I mean about obsessing about it?

Splotchy. It is teh suck.
