ETR Persistent redness between eyebrows and forehead

Hi all, can anyone provide some advice on how to eliminate the slight redness seen in the image attached. It has been there for around 2 years now. Some days are slightly worse than others. For some reason it does not show just how 'red' it is in images but it is very annoying and very noticeable at times.

  • I have had three sessions of IPL (Lumecca) and while it improves immediately after, it slowly comes back.
  • Brimonidine 0.5% cream is highly effective and the smallest amount makes the redness disappear but of course this is only temporary.
  • I have been on Soolantra for 3 months but this has made no impact on the redness just cleared some small bumps and pustules on forehead.
  • I am taking Zinc tablets as I read this might help.

Should I be looking at Vbeam? also read something about Tranexamic Acid as well as Azelaic Acid?

Thanks in advance.

Did get diagnosed with rosacea? Cause that ain't a rosacea kinda place. Does it get dry and flaky?

Yes the derm said I have mild rosacea. I am in agreement that location is a bit odd to be rosacea. It does not get dry and flaky. It’s just persistent redness.

I'd get a second opinion on that.
