Small fiber neuropathy / neurogenic rosacea from covid

Ive had neurogenic rosacea / small fiber neuropathy for about 4 years now and the cause is from getting covid. For a couple years i thought it was from using an exfoliating face wash which i thought damaged my skin barrier but that was just what set it off forever. My symptoms arent as severe as some people but here they are

My symptoms are :

•extremely dry skin

•fragile skin

•thin skin

•cant use any products on my face since i got this and cant even use water sometimes

•cold and hot air triggers dryness/irritation/stinging.

•skin constantly hurts because of not being able to use moisturizer

•eyes burn/sting and water if wind gets in eyes

•skin feels like a sunburn on bad days

Ive seen the top specialists at ucsf in sanfransisco and thats how we came to the conclusion that this was caused by covid. They are seeing more cases since covid of neurogenic rosacea/ small fiber neuropathy and things like pots which i also have. Unfortunalty there isnt many treatments besides medicines like gabepentin/ pregabalin which im not willing to take becuase ive heard not good things.

I feel like this condition is ruining my life. I dont leave my house anymore and dont do outdoor activities because of this. And since im not willing to take thoose medications i listed above i could be stuck with this forever.

Did anyone else here also get this from covid ? And has anyone found a way to use products on their face again without stinging ?
