In this short episode of Think Healthy, Doctor Puja talks about two very common reason for a rosacea flare up.

Listen for why the sun and vitamin-d have an important role to play in the managment of rosacea.

Transcript:

Hi Doctor Puja here.

Let's continue to Think Healthy today. 

I want to talk to you about rosacea.

Because it's springtime,

a lot of people who have

rosacea are likely to trigger

a rosacea flare.

Some of the common triggers

of rosacea are wine, cheeses,

and yup, even the sun!

What I'd like you to know

is that if you have rosacea

and you're planning on

being outside in the sun,

make sure you're choosing a zinc

based sunscreen.

That's important,

because zinc based sunscreens are gentler

and less irritating

than those other sunscreens.

One more thing: having higher

than normal levels of vitamin

D may also trigger rosacea.

So, don't overdo

your vitamin D supplements!

So keep this in mind

if you've got rosacea: I'd like you

to use a zinc based sunscreen

and don't overdo

your vitamin D supplement.

I have more information on my website.

Until next time.
