Rosacea Triggers
- Getting More
Specific
If you have read through our other pages on which rosacea
triggers cause flare-ups, you are familiar with the
general trigger factors. But in the following tables, we
are going to break down those general rosacea trigger
categories into more defined items that
are known causals of rosacea flare-ups. These
will be sorted into the following categories: beverages,
foods, medications and environmental factors.
These specific items were derived
from patient feedback (Source: Dr. Jonathan
Wilkin) and provided here to help you in the process
of identifying your own rosacea triggers. Note:
Each rosacea sufferer may experience their own unique set
of triggers. So, most likely, not all of the below items
will apply to your condition.
