How To Use Your Rosacea Diary Checklist

Rosacea is a chronic and progressive skin disease that can be effectively controlled by following the medical therapy your dermatologist prescribes and eliminating lifestyle factors that may cause flare-ups. Identifying these factors, however, is an individual process. What may cause a flare-up in one patient may not in another. The following Patient Diary Checklist includes common factors that trigger flare-ups in various individuals and has been developed to help you identify and avoid those factors that trigger flare-ups in your individual case.

Print out the following checklist and make enough copies to monitor your rosacea each day over a period of several weeks. Complete the form at the end of each day, and look for items that seem to coincide with your rosacea flare-ups. Then eliminate wherever possible those factors that appear to cause your rosacea to flare up. If eliminating those factors minimizes your flare-ups, you have probably identified the common things you should avoid to help keep your rosacea under control.
