Causes
The causes of rosacea are still somewhat unknown and can be triggered by a variety of things. We do know however that the demodex mite is a primary cause. These often harmless mites live on all of us, however those with rosacea have particularly large numbers. Triggers may also be hereditary or environmental. For some of you, spicy and hot foods, extreme temperatures, sunlight and the wrong cosmetic products can all play a part. For you unlucky ones, alcohol can do it too!
