I Have Been Having A Lot Of Health Issues , Please Suggest Me

I have been having a lot of health issues and during a visit I mentioned to the nurse that I also have noticed a rash on my cheeks and nose that happens everyday and she didn't ask me any questions or even stand up and look at it she just automatically picked up a pen and wrote a prescription for a cream for rosacia and told me to try that. Should she have asked me questions to determine if that was actually what it was first ? I know several people in my family who have Rosacia and it looks completely different from what I am experiencing.

It is possible that one can recognise Rosacea just by looking at the lesions. Rosacea is characterised by red or pink patches, visible broken blood vessels, small red bumps on the face and pink or irritated eyes.

May be the nurse has such an experience. If you are not confident about her, then consider visiting a Dermatologist.
