Rosacea Treatments, London
Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face. It’s more common in women and people with lighter skin, but men can also have this condition and symptoms can often be worse. Treatment can help with symptoms.
The signs of rosacea include
- redness and blushing across the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin that comes and goes
- a burning or stinging feeling when using water or skincare products
- tiny broken blood vessels that do not go away may appear on the skin
- small pink or red bumps, sometimes these become filled with a yellowish liquid and can be confused with acne

Can diet affect Rosacea?
People with Rosacea will find that some foods can increase symptoms and redness whereas some foods can actually help control Rosacea.
What foods are good for controlling Rosacea?
What foods should be avoided if I have Rosacea?
Rosacea can be triggered by a wide variety of different foods and environmental conditions, some of the most common are hot drinks such as coffee, tea and hot chocolate – it tends to be the heat rather than the drink itself which is problematic, switching to chilled versions can help avoid this. Spices, chillis, curry, hot sauce and vinegars may also produce a different kind of heat and stimulate Rosacea symptoms. Alcohol is well known to bring on Rosacea symptoms, particularly red wine and spirits. Each person will find that different foods affect them in different ways. A couple of glasses of chilled cider may be absolutely fine but one glass of red wine can make you extremely flushed. Trial and error is key.
For some dairy products are problematic. Switching to the wide range of non dairy alternatives has been show to help a lot of Rosacea sufferers. Foods that contain histamine have been shown to cause problems for some – examples of histamine rich foods or foods that are histamine releasers are chocolate, citrus fruits and tomatoes.
Before making radical changes to your diet we advise discussing your options with your doctor or a nutritionist. A change in diet can be highly beneficial in dealing with the symptoms of Rosacea. Combined with treatment such as IPL and a good skin care regime, the symptoms of Rosacea can be controlled and to a greater or lesser extent eliminated.
