Case of Rosaceae

Name : Ms. N. B. Age : 27 years Eduacation : MSc Applied Economics + completing B Ed for prior formalities. Currently training to be a professional Hatha Yoga Teacher. Occupation Left the previous job due to excess job pressure. Chief Complaint : Face : Macular patches on the cheek and forehead since few months. A/F : stress. Sun agg+++ No itching or burning. Only hyperpigmentation: redness of cheeks, upper (bridge of the nose) and forehead. Life Situation and Mind : In patient’s language : - I on the other hand have been at the receiving end of the unhappy marriage my parents have had throughout, and continue to be caught between their marital discord. I am much closer to my mother than father; my father and I share a very disturbed relationship and hence, I maintain my distance. As supportive as my mother is towards me, I have been subject to a lot of emotional dumping and have been forced to grow up too soon. I have started to make and be very firm in terms of my boundaries now as I have understood the kind of impact my family has had and continues to have on my mental health. - My childhood trauma does have a way of showing up from time to time – a child growing up in an unhappy house does in many occasions result in an adult who can be unhappy. I have experienced this and am still exposed to unhappy home circumstances but it is not nearly as bad as it used to be. I have greatly started to work on my mental health and that has brought me a certain amount of peace. - I do not have any financial responsibilities currently. I quit my job due to supremely high stress levels and thus do not have an income as of now. That does not bother me as much as it used to as my mother is very supportive of my dream to become a professional Yoga teacher.
