Rosacea Redness caused by Drugs
Drugs causing sun sensitivity and redness in rosacea patients
Certain medications and even some rosacea medications can make rosacea patients more sensitive to the sun, causing a rash or unexpected severe sunburn. If you’re taking such a medication, sunglasses are critical to prevent damage to your eyes, and to reduce ocular rosacea, a condition that is quite difficult to manage.
