Five years on and we are still seeing the effects of covid 19, this time through its impact on the gut-skin axis. Emerging evidence suggests that disruption of the gut microbiome caused by the virus may contribute to skin conditions such as rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema.

If you're among those dealing with rosacea's persistent redness, bumps, and facial inflammation, new research from South Korean dermatologists offers interesting insights that could add to treatment approaches. The recently published study has revealed a connection between rosacea severity and deficiencies in B vitamins.

Understanding why certain foods trigger a rosacea flare is complex and diverse, with some individuals reacting to common triggers, and others not reacting at all. However, there are several categories of foods that can be individually evaluated and avoided if found to trigger flares.

As a condition I suffered myself in my 20s and early 30s, I have been interested in how to manage rosacea more effectively. I recently took a deep dive into this skin condition with Emma Sutherland from Fx Medicine.
