Itchy red patches
I get really bad red patches around my nose and chin - it looks a bit like a rash, but close up is a bit spotty and swollen. It gets worse when I'm stressed. Is there anything I can do? A nutritionist reckoned it was linked to dairy in my diet, but my doctor just thought it was a bad case of dermatitis.
It may be rosacea, which can be triggered and exacerbated by stress or other factors in daily life. Almost any food, drink or skin product could be a trigger, but the most common are drinks containing alcohol or caffeine, dairy, spicy, pickled or smoked foods. It would be best to see a doctor and/or specialist.
