[Skin Concerns] Slightly bumpy red patches from temple to cheeks to nose. Dr. thinks rosacea but I am not so sure...

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have a horrible red face problem that is beginning to affect my day to day life. It started around 3-4 years ago and has progressed this last year. It used to just show when I worked out or after a hot shower but now it is constant. I am embarrassed and self conscious and finding myself reapplying makeup multiple times/day. I just want to figure out what's going on :(Here is my red face (One pic is plain, and one has red areas circled in red and white 'normal' areas circled in green)http://imgur.com/a/t2xmtThe issue: I have red skin patches mainly around my temples that 'bleeds' down to my cheeks right under my cheekbone and over my nose to the other cheekbone. It resembles the shape of one of those blue gel eye masks. The texture is slightly bumpy and sometimes dry but, more or less, feels like the rest of my skin. It doesn't bother me physically, it's just...ugly.The area around my eyes are white/normal and there seems to be a line from my eye down to my jawline that is normal skin. Weird.Routine:I wash my face with benefit's Purity Made Simple both morning and night. I have been using this wash 5+ years, starting long before my face issue. I use CeraVe in the tub both morning and night as a moisturizer. When I use sunscreen I use Bobby Brown. For makeup I usually use a tarte bb cream or diorskin foundation.Doctor's Orders:I have been to see a dermatologist and she didn't really have a clue. She said her best guess was early onset rosacea and she prescribed me Finacea and sent me on my way. I used as prescribed for 2 months and nada. No change whatsoever.Has anyone else had anything like this? Anyone with rosacea out there have insight to the pattern? Any advice is very much appreciated! And of course, if I can give more info please ask :)
