Living with Rosacea

According to a survey of rosacea patients by the National Rosacea Society, the five most common triggers of rosacea are:

• Sun exposure
• Emotional stress
• Hot weather
• Wind
• Heavy exercise

Recognizing the things that trigger your rosacea can help you to control your symptoms. It also is important to see your doctor regularly and follow any treatments that you are prescribed.
