Pre-Rosacea

Dermatologists now recognize an early prelude to rosacea called pre-rosacea. Pre-rosacea is the earliest noticeable stage of rosacea. Signs of this early stage of rosacea include frequent episodes of flushing or redness of the face and/or neck that come and go. Things that can cause an episode are exposure to the sun, emotional stress, alcohol, spicy foods, exercise, cold wind, hot foods and beverages, and hot baths. Again, each person is different and what might affect one person's rosacea might not bother the next person with rosacea.
