Can a small baby aspirin help with rosacea flushing? Some research doctors, like Dr. Bikowski, strongly feel that aspirin could be a first line of defense for reducing flushing symptoms. He even suspects that there might be a connection between migraines and rosacea.

He based his suggestion on a recent study published in the Dermatology Times, that suggests there may be connection between baby aspirin (81 mg) and reduce rosacea swelling and flushing.

He found that when you gave his rosacea patients one small baby aspirin daily – they reported fewer incidents of redness and flushing. Dr. Bikowski suggests that if aspirin therapy is safe for the heart and colon – why not the skin too? Also, aspirin is pretty safe, inexpensive, and is not contraindicated with many other drugs. 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.

In addition to aspirin therapy for rosacea flushing, Dr. Linda Sy suggests taking low dose antihistamines – such as a 4 mg chlortimenton – along with a baby aspirin at bedtime to help reduce nighttime flushing. Then in the morning take a B complex – that contains 50 mg of B-6 – and 1 Tagamet to help block H2 receptors during the day.

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 consume these foods, try taking an antihistamine about two hours before to help counter the effects of the histamine. Or taking aspirin which can help reduce the effects of the niacin contained in these foods. Click here to read more on Diet For Rosacea.
