Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol, especially red wine, can dilate blood vessels and worsen rosacea. Limiting or avoiding alcohol can help to manage this trigger.
Exercise
Heavy exercise can prompt rosacea flare-ups due to increased body temperature. Low-intensity workouts and staying cool can help reduce the risk.
Skincare Products
Certain skincare products can irritate the skin and trigger rosacea. Use gentle, fragrance-free products and patch test new products before full use.
Stress
Stress can aggravate rosacea. Stress management techniques such as meditation and regular exercise can be beneficial in reducing flare-ups.
Wind Exposure
Strong winds can irritate the skin and aggravate rosacea. Protective clothing and avoiding harsh weather conditions can help manage this trigger.
Spicy Foods
Spicy foods may trigger flare-ups in some people. Keeping a food diary and avoiding known food triggers can help manage symptoms.
Laser Therapy
Laser treatments can reduce the redness associated with rosacea by targeting dilated blood vessels. Seek a dermatologist for an assessment and treatment plan.
Oral Antibiotics
Antibiotics like doxycycline can be used to treat inflammation in rosacea. Take as directed by a healthcare provider to ensure efficacy and reduce side effects.
Topical Metronidazole
Metronidazole is a common treatment that can reduce inflammation. Use as prescribed by a healthcare provider to control rosacea symptoms.
Sunlight Exposure
Sunlight can exacerbate rosacea symptoms. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher and wear a hat or seek shade to manage exposure.
Hot Beverages
Hot beverages can increase skin temperature and lead to flushing. Opting for cooler drinks can help in avoiding this trigger.
