The National Rosacea Society has introduced an updated version of the “Rosacea Diary,” a booklet containing diary pages to help patients identify and avoid their personal rosacea triggers – such as certain foods, weather, physical activity and skin-care products. The updated diary streamlines and modernizes the design for ease of use and incorporates a new and more robust checklist.

In addition to complying with medical therapy, an important part of managing rosacea for many patients is to identify and avoid environmental and lifestyle factors that may trigger or aggravate their individual conditions.

Shoppers beware. Everyday items you put in your grocery cart could end up registering a rosacea flare-up. That's why reading food and skin-care product labeling before getting to the check-out line, and planning a grocery list in advance, may help sufferers learn to better manage their condition.
