Rosacea-prone skin — what should I tell a derm before they suggest anything?

Flushes easily, gets red and hot with heat or spicy food, and a couple of strong actives have wrecked my barrier before. Planning a skin consult in Seoul but I'm nervous about being upsold something that sets it off. What do people with reactive skin mention up front, and what questions are worth asking about downtime and redness?

    Lead with the triggers and the history: what has flared you before, any products or treatments that went badly, and anything you're using now. Ask what they'd do first and what they'd avoid for your skin specifically, how red you might be afterwards and for how long, and what they'd want you to use or skip at home. If you have a diagnosis from a doctor back home, bring a note of it.
