In this episode: What is rosacea? How people are diagnosed Nicotinamide Other treatments for rosacea What is Demodex? Wild chrysanthemum Quotes “We also have to make sure we're removing the triggers because another thing that rosacea and acne are really kind of different is that with acne, yes, there are certain triggers that can bring it out, no doubt about it. But rosacea happens on a much faster timescale.” [2:56] “So our first line treatments would be things like topical metronidazole. It's technically an antibiotic, but we're pretty convinced in this context it's more for its antiinflammatory effect. It's very safe and gentle. It's even pregnancy safe.” [11:10] Links Find Dr. Lio Online Healthy Skin Show ep. 001: How to Protect & Strengthen Your Skin Barrier w/ Dr. Peter Lio Healthy Skin Show ep. 037: Nickel Allergy And Eczema w/ Dr. Peter Lio Healthy Skin Show ep. 104: Topical B12 For Skin Rashes w/ Dr. Peter Lio Follow Dr. Lio on Twitter | Facebook
