[Skin Concerns] Looking for advice - been battling for years with redness, burning sensation, enlarged pores, uneven texture

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi all,I'm really hoping anyone can give me some skincare advice or has had similar problems to my own. Please find pictures here, here and here. These pictures were taken while my skin felt particularly red and burny today!I have spoken to doctors a few times who have written off rosacea even though I feel I have a few symptoms (redness, burning, can get worse after drinking or in wind).I can't exactly explain my skin type - it can get oily but also feels very tight after washing (until I moisturise). My skincare routine is simple as I find my skin is very very sensitive to most things.Currently: AM * Warm water rinse * Burt's Bees Sensitive Daytime Moisturiser * (If I'm going outside for much time I will put on an SPF 30)PM * Burts Bees Sensitive Cleanser * Burts Bees Sensitive Evening MoisturiserI have had other routines in the past involving no cleansers, Cetaphil cleansers, Aveeno lotions - trying to keep it as simple as possible. While I go through highs and lows nothing seems to be helping my problems.My main causes of upset areGeneralised redness - my face appears a different colour from the rest of my skin. Sometimes it looks better but can sometimes get worse in times of stress or heat or alcoholBurning sensation - my face sometimes just feels very hot and burny - like sunburn but not. This can happen completely seperate from redness triggers. Just sitting now I can feel my face burn. This is really the main problem because it can make me extremely self conscious and also causes fatiguePore size - some of these will be leftover ice pick scars from acne as a teenager. However, when my face gets oily and shiny the pores all across my cheeks are very large and visible. I also have blackheads all over my nose and nearby cheek areas.Uneven skin texture - again a likely remnant of my acne days - but any advice on ways to smooth this out would be helpful.This all used to be accompanied by fairly aggressive acne but, while the acne cleared up, all these other symptoms have persisted for years without much sign of getting better.I'm not hoping for miracles, but if anyone has had similar skin problems (hypersensitive, red, burning skin) and has found a solution I would love to hear from you.Thanks so much.
