Y&R: Potpourri Thread 3


Recommended Posts

  • Members

IF CBS is interfering now, then Y&R and its stories must be testing very BADLY with focus groups and viewer feedback must be very negative.

But still, the actual writing and crafting of this stories are on this writing team, and many of these same problems have followed members of this writing team from show to show and haven't existed on this show before under other regimes with the same top brass at CBS.

Sun damage and rosacea that she doesn't seem to want to treat...ugh. A few sessions with an IPL machine plus a physical sunscreen would substantially improve the texture, tone and overall condition of her skin.

She needs to cut her hair too. The long, poker straight hair does her no favours. Icky, Icky MAB.

I always knew that, regardless of our differences, we were solid pals. We're too smart not to be ;)

And you got it, Diane is the damn deal. Honestly, my favourite network news anchor (maybe, ever)...!

Absolutely. Rosacea is a very, very common skin disorder. In my opinion, which is shared by many dermatologists, rosacea is a blanket term that is used for anything having to do with skin redness. In some people, rosacea can be very severe involving facial swelling, deep redness, an enlarged nose, explosive acne-like lesions and gritty/watery eyes. In others, it's simply a constant flush. MAB is certainly to the mild side of rosacea, but that's what she has. The large pores and flushed skin spell it out to me. The problem is that while rosacea isn't a challenge to treat (topical and oral antibiotics are an option, though I much prefer lasers and IPL treatments, perhaps a chemical peel as well) it is impossible to cure since nobody knows what causes it since, as I said, it's a blanket term and there are likely tons of different reasons why it occurs.

Bill Clinton, Diana, Princess of Wales, Rosie O'Donnell and Mariah Carey are some of the famous faces who have rosacea (well, HAD in Lady Di's case).

That's what I was missing: a blanket term. I thought that when talking about rosacea dermatologist meant red, dry, tight skin, burning & stinging sensation plus dilatated capillaries etc.

Mariah Carey?!? :o

Is her dermatologist a secret one? :)

Usually, people think rosacea is red, oily, acne prone skin, which is what MAB seems to be demonstrating. Most people don't link rosacea and dryness, but the two absolutely co-exist. That said, when patients have red, dry skin it's sometimes that moisturizing it will help relieve some level of the redness, dryness often leads to an impaired skin barrier function which leads to inflammation (ie: redness, burning and tingling).

Mariah Carey, no idea who treats her. Someone in New York though.
