There are hereditary , environmental factors and trigger factory that can cause rosacea temperature extremes , sunlight , stress, anger , corticosteroids, such as prednisone , drugs that dilate blood vessels . Try to avoid trigger factors if you know what start it , protect yourself from sun exposure , wash your face with cold water and take over the counter anti histamine like bendryl . If condition doesn t get better then consult dermatologits for proper examination . Doctor may order skin test or elemination test .
