Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 My 9 year old grandson has been diagnosed with rosacea. His GP says there is no cure !! He is covered with dry patches, some with spots in the middle, all over his chest, right down his trunk, and covering some of his legs and arms. At the minute he has none on his face, except a small dry patch. Can anyone give me any information about this and how to treat it. He is very itchy all of the time. I dont have a lot of faith in GP's, but this is the second time my daughter has taken him to see what is wrong. Information is not forthcoming. Please let me have any information, links, etc. you may have. Thanks Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 There is a Chinese herbal salve available on the web. It is available and can be bought from Hong Kong. Rosacea is caused by a very, very small mite, undetectable by the human eye. What you describe might not be Rosacea. You may want to do some skin scrapings tests to try and positively identify the problem. The guy that developed the herbal salve has studied the problem for many years. The salve is recognized and approved by the government of China. Do a web search and you should be able to find it. You might also try Tea Tree Oil.
