I have peeling skin all over my face and hives and raw skin all around my eyes. I am seventy-five and always looked at least 10 years younger. I had covid at the end of August and thought I was over it. In November I had a laser treatment on broken capillaries on my face. Instead of making my face look better, it seemed to trigger more rosacea. I was all broken out with acne the next day. Now my skin is mottled, keeps peeling and my eyelids and all around my eyes is raw and red, itchy and painful. I look like I am eight-five now. I don't even want to go out anywhere. At this point I just cry. The plastic surgeon who did the procedure and the dermatologist treat me like I am crazy. I am a widow so I have no support. The Rheumatologist believes I have long Covid and is the only one that treats me with respect.

I’m so sorry. Aging is hard enough without extra help from Covid.
I have incessant itching that may or may not be from having two rounds of Covid. I’ve read the the Novavax 2023/24 vaccine has eased some long Covid symptoms for some people. I’m getting the shot today and I’ll report whether I’m lucky.
As I said, it might not be from Covid—I could just be cursed.
I hope you find a new dermatologist. Perhaps on this site? I am on Twitter and the Covid cautious community on there is very supportive. You might find a sympathetic and knowledgeable doctor.
I'm sorry this happened to you too. After spending money on the treatment, it is very disapointing, to say the least, to look worse and to feel worse.

I am 72 and went through much the same but it manifested w open sores on my face. Turned out I have and you prob. Have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome! Once you study this and the diet it self you will have to be very careful but you can heal.. research it and go to Beth O’Hara’s site called Beth 360 and Becky Campbells site ….On Campbells I ordered Optimal Reset supplements and they have helped me immensely to reset my reactions of too much histamine in my diet. There is a way through this!….I am O blood type and for maybe that reason I got well on the Carnivore diet instead of the standard protocol of a plant based diet. My face literally looked like someone threw acid on it. It’s taken a long many months to correct the damage on my face but it is corrected but with spots occurring when I eat a high histamine food. I hope you research Mast Cell and become an authority on your own diet that works. God Bless!!
