287: Rosacea Myths (That People Think Are True)

Like other common skin rash conditions, there are many pervasive myths that you can read online or that people think about rosacea that simply is not true!

My hope is that by talking about these six common myths, you’ll discover that there is more to rosacea than a frustrating diagnosis.

Since April is Rosacea Awareness month, I want to dive into common questions to help you connect some dots that will offer insight into your skin (and health as a whole).

So let’s dive in!

In this episode:

• Is rosacea the same thing as acne?
• Different types of rosacea + progression to rhinophyma
• Rosacea common skincare triggers
• Is rosacea contagious? (Kind of…)
• Alcohol consumption + risk of rosacea
• Why rosacea ISN’T a skin-only problem
• Does rosacea impact only fair skin tones?

Quotes:

Rosacea is not triggered because your face isn’t clean, but harsh exfoliation; strong, drying ingredients in skincare and makeup as well as excessive use of anti-aging products can trigger rosacea.

Though rosacea as a condition isn’t contagious, a Demodex mite infestation that can cause rosacea IS contagious!
