True or False: A rosacea flare-up can be triggered by your lifestyle.

True!

Spicy food?
Alcohol?
Exercise?
Hot showers?
Hot drinks?

Yup, these can all trigger a flare-up.

In fact, even your emotions, like stress, can cause a flare-up!

If you’re struggling with your rosacea, try to make a list of your triggers, and work to make lifestyle adjustments to ease flare-ups.

Immunizations go beyond yourself.

They protect your loved ones and the most vulnerable members of your community, helping everyone around you stay healthy and thriving.

This National Immunization Awareness Week, we urge you to talk to your pharmacist or primary care provider about your immunizations.

It could save a life.
