What Triggers Rosacea?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009 by admin

If you are a rosacea sufferer, you may be wondering what triggers rosacea. Well, the fact is that everyone has a different set of rosacea triggers that are unique to them. Of course, many of the symptoms are common between patients and are detailed in this short video:

Rosacea Symptoms: Summer Is A Time For Caution

Friday, June 5th, 2009 by admin

With summer almost upon us, most individuals are thinking about summer activities and fun in the sun.  But recent surveys by the National Rosacea Society indicate that many rosacea sufferers believe the summer season is one to be wary of.   With almost 85% of respondents stating that their rosacea symptoms are affected by the changing of the seasons, it is a time of caution and awareness for those diagnosed with rosacea.

Surprisingly, about 50% of those taking the survey thought that there symptoms were at their worst during the summer months.  An almost equal amount said that they make more lifestyle changes to control flare-ups in the summer than any other time of the year.

The problem being that sun exposure and summer heat are two of the most common rosacea triggers.  So, rosacea patients need to be aware of this high risk time of the year and avoid too much outdoor time and should use sunscreen products.  But don’t be fooled by a cloudy summer day - the heat and humidity can still lead to exacerbations in this skin condition.

What seemed to be a common factor in this survey was that many individuals were adversely affected by cold weather as well.  The study showed that 36% of respondents and 46% of those living in the northern states found their rosacea symptoms were at their worst during the winter months.  The wind and biting cold can be especially hard on already sensitive skin.

It would appear that the two most extreme seasons wreak the most havoc on many individual’s rosacea symptoms.  The good news was that almost 87% claimed that a combination of skin treatments and lifestyle changes helped reduce flare-ups and their overall symptoms.

Rosacea Flare-Ups Happen More Frequently Than You Think

Saturday, March 28th, 2009 by admin

If you know anything about rosacea, you are aware that this skin condition is typified by flare-ups and remissions.  This fact has been confirmed by recent studies conducted by the National Rosacea Society of over 950 rosacea sufferers.

The interesting fact coming out of this study was that over 55% of the survey takers stated that they experienced a flare-up or increased symptoms at least once a month.  Of this group, 24% claimed that they were having flare-ups every few days; 15% once per week; and the remainder were once a month.

Another 25% of survey participants revealed that their flare-ups occurred only every few months.

How Long Do Flare-Ups Last?

This is the real question that most rosacea patients should be concerned with.  If you only incur one outbreak per month but it lasts for several weeks, you are far worse off than an individual who experiences a weekly flare-up for less than a day.  The statistics from the study were very revealing in this area.  The breakout is as follows:

33% - More than a day

21% - Less than a day

21% - More than a week

14% - Several weeks to over a month

11% - Other

How Intense Are The Rosacea Flare-Ups?

The intensity of a sufferer’s flare-up is another key point that must be considered when evaluating the type of treatment that is appropriate for you.  This study showed that over 50% classified their rosacea flare-ups as being moderate in intensity, while 12% believed them severe.  A total of 32% felt that their outbreaks were in the mild range.

So, how did the respondents control their rosacea symptoms?  83% stated that rosacea treatments combined with avoiding their rosacea triggers effectively controlled their symptoms.  Seeing that there is no cure for this skin disorder, it would certainly appear that a proactive approach to controlling symptoms is your best method to address your rosacea flare-ups.

As you are probably aware, your best chance of keeping your rosacea in remission is to identify and avoid the activities and environments that exacerbate your skin condition.  We also realize that you may be thinking, “Easier said than done!” So, if you are having trouble identifying all of your rosacea triggers, we have found a resource that may help you organize and track various environmental and lifestyle factors leading to a rosacea flare-up.

The National Rosacea Society offers a free Rosacea Diary booklet that will help you track your flare-ups and the factors leading to the exacerbation.  This handy diary will make your mission of identifying your specific rosacea triggers much easier and provide a record of your activities and environmental factors just prior to and after each flare-up. Over a period of a month or two, you should start to see a pattern forming that will identify your triggers.

We have also detailed a list of common rosacea triggers to help get you started in your “detective” work and also have an ongoing Rosacea Survey for our site visitors to cast their votes as to the most significant rosacea trigger that they personally experience.  If you would like to see what triggers are most common, why not visit both website pages and see if the lists don’t give you a starting point for your task at hand.

Now you need to understand that rosacea triggers can vary from person to person, so there really is no set pattern or combination of factors affecting every rosacea sufferer.  Your triggers may be unique, but with the help of the Rosacea Diary, identifying your rosacea triggers will be a much easier task and your efforts will prove much more productive.
