Who is Lex?

Hi, that’s me! I was diagnosed with rosacea 19 years ago and I’ve been sharing my experiences, educating others, supporting the community, and raising awareness for rosacea for 11 years. You can find my extensive and in-depth rosacea blog posts on my website HERE.

To put it simply, I started talking about rosacea online because no one else was doing it. I remembered all too well how frustrated, isolated, and hopeless I felt when I was first diagnosed, and so I decided that if I couldn’t find rosacea representation, education, and support then I would provide that for others who needed it. You can find me all over the internet (and on TV, in print, and on the radio) banging the drum for rosacea and skin positivity, but this will be the home for my newsletter and more personal writing that doesn’t quite fit on the blog.

Welcome to Rosacea Club, I’m so glad you’re here.
