Rosacea

Hi.
I'm a 34 year old women with increasingly-worse rosacea.  I've been looking
into the foods that are listed as those contributing to Rosacea flare-ups
and wondering if my past high blood pressure (I'm not sure what it currently
is)and migraine history(not horrible, but they also seem to 'run'
in my family)could be related to this condition.  
Anyway, I've noticed that many of the foods listed as
rosacea triggers are also listed as migraine triggers.  In addition,
many of the foods are restricted on Tyramine and dopamine reduced diets.
Is there a link between these conditions - could rosacea be
tyramine-related?  If so, is there anything that can be taken to regulate
the amount of tyramine that triggers the flushing response?  Or am I just
not understanding these conditions?
Any information is appreciated.  Thank you.
