Rosacea is a prevalent skin condition affecting approximately 16 million Americans, particularly middle-aged women, including notable figures like President Trump and Sofia Vergara. Sufferers often experience facial redness and acne-like bumps. Treatment strategies include gentle skincare routines and dietary adjustments to avoid known triggers such as spicy foods and alcohol. Dermatologist Alicia Zalka emphasizes the multifaceted nature of rosacea, underscoring the significance of a patient's genetics and diet, and suggests that incorporating probiotics may benefit skin conditions associated with rosacea.
"It's hard because I get really red, so I've realized that I've had to treat my skin like sensitive skin, where I didn't before," Vergara told Who What Wear in 2020.
"Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition in which the skin appears inflamed along with evidence of acne-like bumps and textural change," she told The Post.
"Because the condition is multifaceted and is the result of interplay of genetics, environment, vascular inflammatory responses of the skin and even skin mites, there is no single cause of rosacea and similarly no single treatment."
"Studies have suggested that rosacea may be related to the microbiome of the GI tract and that a diet which includes probiotics may offer skin benefits for rosacea," Zalka said.
