 Rosacea is a skin condition that looks similar to acne or a sunburn. It results
in redness in the face, particularly the middle third of the face, such as the
area around the nose and the cheeks. While often uncomfortable and
embarrassing, the condition can be controlled, while not cured.

4. Triggers for Rosacea
 In particular, a person with rosacea should avoid consuming food and
drink that causes flare-ups. Triggers for rosacea include spicy foods and
alcohol. While certain foods, such as chocolate, are common rosacea
triggers, every person’s body responds differently. One person with
rosacea may have a reaction to a particular food, while another may not.
To keep track of what foods aggravate rosacea, it’s recommended that
people with the condition keep a food diary in order to identify potential
triggers. Among the foods such people might want to log their reaction to
are dairy products, soy sauce, and yeast extract, among others.
