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.

Based on a recent study published in the Dermatology Times, Dr. Bikowski suggests that there may be some benefits of taking one small baby aspirin (81 mg) daily to help reduce rosacea swelling and flushing.

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.

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 and antihistamine therapy, consider reducing or avoiding the following foods because they are either high in histamines, niacin, 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.
