A member asked:

How can i determine whether i have asian flush syndrome or rosacea. sometimes when i drink alcohol my face and neck get blotchy but not always.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rosa era: The rash of rosacea is present at all times but increases and decreases on occasion and alcohol could certainly increase the severity of the rash.
