Hello,
It is my pleasure to be able to help you.
I have gone through your history as you are having Rosacea affecting the cheek which has extended to affect eye.
This might me ocular rosacea. This type of infection may require Long-term treatment, usually one to two years, may result in permanent control of the condition for some patients.
Lifelong treatment is often necessary, although some cases resolve after a while and go into a permanent remission.
For further information you contact your dermatologist for proper and adequate treatment.
Thank you.
