The Seasonal Rosacea Picture

Many rosacea patients report that changing seasons are hard on their condition, and it's possible your rosacea is affected by environmental factors that are more pervasive during these times. In the fall you may be exposed to colder temperatures, more frequent windy days and perhaps more stress because of holiday commitments, all of which can be rosacea tripwires. In the spring, your rosacea may be aggravated by increased sun and outdoor activity.

You may want to keep a diary during the fall and spring to pinpoint and then avoid what may be causing flare-ups for you during these seasons.
