ROSACEA

Causes of Rosacea

The cause of rosacea is not entirely known. Sun-damaged skin is a major contributing factor. Certain "triggers" can cause the disease to get worse. These triggers vary from person to person, but common examples include excessive heat, certain foods, strenuous exercise, stress, and alcohol. Occasionally, lifestyle changes may be necessary to avoid rosacea flare-ups.

If you answer "yes" to these questions, you may have rosacea...

• Does your skin blush and flush easily?
• Do you have fair skin?
• Have you noticed pimples?
• Does your skin get red when you drink alcoholic or hot beverages or eat spicy food?
