The general consensus among clinicians is that rosacea is a photoaggravated disorder. Pathophysiologic processes induced by UV radiation, which are processes similar to those seen in photoaging, contribute to the signs and symptoms of rosacea. Because of the purported role of solar radiation, clinicians may want to use photosensitizing antibiotics with discretion in patients with rosacea. In addition to topical and oral therapy for rosacea, clinicians should recommend that patients use sunscreens or sunblocks (inorganic chemicals such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide).
临床医生的普遍共识是酒渣鼻是一种光加重性疾病。紫外线辐射引发的病理生理过程，与光老化中所见的过程相似，会导致酒渣鼻的体征和症状。由于太阳辐射被认为起到了一定作用，临床医生在治疗酒渣鼻患者时可能会谨慎使用光敏性抗生素。除了酒渣鼻的局部和口服治疗外，临床医生应建议患者使用防晒霜或防晒乳（如氧化锌或二氧化钛等无机化学品）。
