rss Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Rosacea Triggers: Alcohol and Smoking. Dermatol Clin. 2018 Apr;36(2):123-126 Authors: Alinia H, Tuchayi SM, Patel NU, Patel N, Awosika O, Bahrami N, Cardwell LA, Richardson I, Huang KE, Feldman SR Abstract A variety of triggers are thought to exacerbate rosacea. A validated self-assessment tool and survey was used to study the relationship between rosacea severity and triggers. Subjects were adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of rosacea. Increased severity of disease was significantly associated with consumption of many alcoholic beverages in 1 day and employment at a job requiring extensive sun exposure. The authors' findings may inform physician counseling practices; patients may be provided with practical measures for managing their rosacea, such as limiting alcohol consumption over short periods of time and increasing sun protection, especially in the summer.
