“For some people who’re rosacea-prone, alcohol can improve flushing, worsen redness and result in potential flares,” board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick, M.D., FAAD tells mbg.
“Moreover, one research confirmed that alcohol consumption was related to an elevated threat of rosacea,” she provides. It’s because alcohol can set off irritation and “peripheral vasodilation,” which might result in redness, flushing, and bumps, Garshick explains. There have additionally been associations between worsened eczema and psoriasis when alcohol is consumed, she notes.
