Hi Guys,

Even more reason to educate ourselves in order to educate the medics.

Understandable mistake..... or not!

God bless

Yes Mads. We must educate ourselves.

I was told it was rosacea and to try switching my soaps and lotions but cellulitis???? That is even a further stretch!

Take care,

Alina
