Diet & Lifestyle advise Rosacea:

• Protect your skin with a prescribed sunblock, hat, or sun-screening accessories. 
• Load up on green leafy vegetables like spinach, oily fish, and citrus fruits. Almonds, blueberries, avocados, and nuts are rich in antioxidants and very helpful in preventing inflammation and improving skin quality.
• Lower your carb intake, and avoid inflammatory drinks such as packaged juices, sweetened tea, and carbonated beverages. Also, avoid any foods you may be allergic to. 
• Keeping your skin hydrated by drinking enough water can also do wonders for the overall quality of your skin. 
• Always wash your makeup before sleeping. Never go to bed with makeup on.
• Spend time on a proper skin care regimen.
• Avoid intake of too much caffeine (tea, coffee, and chocolate), cheese, and spicy food.

Diet & Lifestyle advise Head lice:

• To prevent head lice, avoid bumping heads or any head-to-head activities. Do not share towels and brushes.
• Do not share any personal items or bedding that have come into contact with the affected person.

Rosacea: Rosacea is a long-term skin disorder that primarily affects the face. The initial signs of Rosacea include intermittent redness (blushing) throughout the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. Other symptoms include dry skin, swelling around the eyes, and yellow-orange spots on the skin. It is more common in women and people with lighter skin, but symptoms might worsen in men. Rosacea cannot be cured permanently; however, it can be managed with the help of medications. If not treated, it can worsen.

Lice: Lice are external parasites that generally inhabit the skin of the scalp and the pubes. They feed on human blood. Discomfort, itching and redness are some of the main symptoms of lice. Head lice feed on blood through the scalp, whereas pubic lice are seen amidst pubic hair.
