How Does Niacin Help In Treatment Of Rosacea?
Question: What are the affects of Niacin if you have Rosacea?
Brief Answer:
Niacin might trigger Rosacea flare-ups...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you take Niacin at therapeutic dosage, it will cause widening of blood vessels, thus, blood circulation will be improved.
Rosecea is chronic inflammatory skin condition, characterized by face flare-ups (widening of blood vessels particularly in the face).
As you may probably understand, niacin use in therapeutic dosage would trigger face flare ups.
