If you have rosacea, you might want to take a pass on Taco Tuesday, says Dr Joshua Zeichner, a clinical research in dermatology. “Any foods that cause your blood vessels to dilate and make you flush may cause a flare,” he says, echoing the findings of a review of studies published in 2017 in the journal Dermatology Practical & Conceptual. Researchers found that many people with rosacea report episodes of flushing after eating spicy foods or drinking alcohol or hot beverages.
