I agree with Hazel that it's body-temp related. I have the same thing, and I hate it. I don't often eat much of an evening meal, but I give my baby a bath and nurse him right around that time, and sure enough every night my face is burning, even if the core of my body feels chilled. I try to keep the heat off in the house as much as possible (I'm in Northern California, so this is pretty feasible, even in Dec. and with a baby), sometimes running outside if I have to for relief. The only way out for me would be to change my baby's routine, which I'd rather not do. If it weren't for these nightly flares and the occasional social/embarrassment-related flares, I'd be so much better off! --beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, , are you the one cooking the meal? I have found that cooking, especially cooking that requires a lot of standing over the stove or pulling stuff in and out of the oven, is an immediate flare inducer. If you are doing the cooking, is there any way the food could be cooked earlier in the day, when your body temp is lower, then just heated in a microwave, which produces less radiant heat and means less time for you standing around in the kitchen? --beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooking in the evening, and eating hot food, would result in a flareup. My advice is to do any cooking as early in the day as possible, and if you use the stove, stay away from radiant heat and steam. Keep your distance from the stove, and stir at arm's length; don't let steam and heat hit your face or you will probably trigger an episode. Keep the kitchen as cool as possible, and use the microwave as much as possible. It is better for everyone (not just rosaceans) to get most of their calories early in the day, and eat a light dinner. This allows more time to burn off the calories.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 , it is probably not the evening meal, but rather the time of day. I flush just about everyday between 3-6PM. My derm said a lot of people tell her they, too, flush around the same time of day each day (the time of day varies for each person). I noticed that between 3-6 seems to be my body clock's " down " time. That is the time I am beginning to get tired, or feel worn out. After my evening meal I perk right up with energy.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 I find my evening flushes to be scant or nonexistant if I use Nasalcrom. This is an otc allergy treatment, and it really seems to help. Matija > , it is probably not the evening meal, but rather the time of day. I > flush just about everyday between 3-6PM.
