The Search For the Cause
i) Rosacea and Stomach Ulcers
Some people with stomach ulcers are prone to develop rosacea. The cause of a
high percentage of stomach ulcers is infection with a specific bacterium and it
has been suggested that this may be the cause of Rosacea.
The following article references a specific study (from June 1999). The actual study does not support the theory that this bacterium causes Rosacea.
"Connection
between rosacea and stomach ulcers"
[From the Determatology Channel website]
The study which was referenced in that article can be found in the archives of Dermatology on the
AMA website at:
"Effect of Treatment of Helicobacter pylori Infection on
Rosacea"

Blankush, RN; David E. Gangeness, PharmD
