Natural Health: acne rosacea

Q. I have suffered from acne rosacea for eight years.

I’ve tried every lotion, potion, and medication, to no avail. It seems to be triggered by stress and junk food, and sunlight makes it worse. How can I reduce the redness?

A. Acne rosacea is a stressful skin condition: it appears across the face and so cannot be hidden. It can differ in appearance — from a flushed and embarrassed look to intense inflammation with raised pustules.
