Causes of rosacea
Rosacea occurs due to an inflammatory reaction of the skin tissues wherein the exact triggering factor that initiates this reaction is not known. Various factors such as emotional stress, repeated sun exposure, hot weather, alcohol, spicy foods and use of certain skin products have been associated with the increased incidence of rosacea. The infection of face mite known as Demodex folliculorum and another microorganism called Helicobacter pylori have also been attributed as the possible cause in some of the individuals.^1,2
