A member asked:
Took ibuprofen 800mg + hot shower & now i have a lot of facial redness (rosacea), which i normally never have - why? will this just subside overtime?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be allergic: reaction to ibuprofen. Rosacea is an entirely different problem. If it persists, consult a doctor, because treatment is different for these two conditions.
