Is it possible that a simple small baby aspirin taken daily can help reduce rosacea inflammation and flushing? According to Dr. Bikowski, a small baby aspirin (81 mg) daily could be your first line of defense for reducing rosacea symptoms.
He bases his suggestion on a recent study published in the Dermatology Times that suggests potential benefits of taking a small baby aspirin (81 mg) to help reduce rosacea flushing and swelling.
Dr. Bikowski did his own informal study where he gave his rosacea patients a baby aspirin daily. He found that his patients reported fewer incidents of flushing and redness. He feels that if aspirin therapy is safe for the heart and colon, then why not the skin too. In addition, aspirin is pretty safe, inexpensive, and can be taken with most other drugs without any problems. Please Note: If you’re not sure if aspirin is safe for you or you are taking any medications, please check with your doctor before trying aspirin therapy for rosacea.
Dr Linda Sy suggests taking a baby aspirin along with antihistamines such as a 4 mg chlortimenton at bedtime. Then take a B complex that contains 50 mg of B-6 and 1 Tagament during the day time. Tagament helps block H2 receptors.
Foods To Eat For Rosacea
In addition to aspirin therapy, consider avoiding the following lists of foods because they are either high in niacin or histamines or tend to trigger rosacea flare-ups. These foods include:
-Citrus fruits
-Broad leafed beans and pods
-Eggplant
-Spinach
-Soy sauce
-Cheese
-Vinegar
If you do eat these foods, try taking an antihistamine and/or a baby aspirin about two hours before to help counter the effects of the histamine or niacin contained in these foods.Click here to read more on Diet For Rosacea.
