Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 I have an odd question. Has anyone noticed if smoking affects their rosacea? Does it get worse when you quit? Has anyone found that nicotine patches help? Here's my thought -- The blood vessel problems that make my face so terribly hot and red also make my feet and hands feet hot all the time... In fact, my whole body seems too hot, even though my normal body temp is low. My worst triggers are a hot car, hot weather, hot rooms or opening the oven to get something out. Using the charcoal grill is guaranteed to make me beet red and burn like fire for a couple of hours. It's pretty clear that substances that dilate blood vessels make rosacea worse. Since nicotine constricts blood vessels, would nicotine patches help rosacea? I'm thinking of trying them and wonder what you folks think.
