Moya for rosacea

Rosacea tracker: including the days you did not flush

Flushing that arrives without warning, and a list of suspected triggers that only ever grows. Moya records the calm days too, so the list can be tested rather than added to.

Quick answer

What is the best way to track rosacea?

Log the same short list every day, and log the ordinary days as well as the red ones. Rosacea reacts quickly to some things and not at all to others, so what separates a real trigger from a coincidence is not whether it was present when you flushed, but how often it was present on the days you did not. Most suspected triggers do not survive that check.

The method

What to record, and what it is for

What to log

  • Whether you flushed today, and how it felt
  • Food and drink, especially hot, spicy or alcoholic
  • Temperature, wind, sun and moving between hot and cold
  • Skincare and make-up, and anything used for the first time
  • Stress, and exercise
  • Sleep, and anything else out of the ordinary

What patterns are worth looking for

  • Which suspects also turn up on your calm days, which is where most of them fail
  • Whether flushing follows within minutes, or the next day, or neither
  • Whether the trigger list is shrinking as you test it, or only growing
  • Seasonal and weather swings, which are usually the clearest signal

What to take to an appointment

  • How often you flush, and how long an episode lasts
  • The suspects you have tested, and what happened when they were absent
  • What you have already tried, named, and for how long
  • Any eye symptoms, even mild ones
  • Photographs from a bad day, since the clinic is rarely one

Your entries, reflected back

Moya does not present charts for you to interpret. Every so often it gently reflects back what you have been logging, in plain sentences, for example:

“On days you logged alcohol, you recorded flushing about as often as on days you did not.”

These are simply observations from your own entries, on your own terms. Moya is a wellness tool, not a medical device: it never diagnoses or gives medical advice, and a reflection is a conversation starter for you and your clinician, never a conclusion.

How Moya handles it

A photo diary that shows change

Skin changes slowly, and memory is unreliable. Progress photos stay organised and private, so you can compare honestly across weeks and months.

One short check-in a day

Under a minute, which is what makes logging a calm day realistic. The calm days are what the flare days get compared against.

Your entries do not leave your phone

Health notes are personal. Moya is built so the record stays yours, and there is no account for it to be attached to.

When to ask

Reasons people are advised to get it looked at

Tracking is not a substitute for being seen, and this is not a threshold you have to reach before you are allowed to ask.

If you are unsure, that is itself a good reason to ask. Moya records what you noticed; your clinician decides what it means.

Questions

Questions people ask

What can I track with Moya for rosacea?

Quick daily check-ins cover flushing, food and drink, weather, skincare, stress, sleep and anything new. Everything is designed for seconds-a-day logging.

Will Moya tell me what my rosacea triggers are?

No. Moya is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It lays out what tended to occur alongside what in your own notes. Whether something genuinely triggers your rosacea is a clinical question, and one that self-observation alone cannot settle.

How do I tell a real rosacea trigger from a coincidence?

Check how often the suspect was present on days you did not flush. A real trigger is mostly absent from those days. If it turns up about as often, you have found a habit rather than a trigger.

Why does my trigger list keep growing?

Usually because only the bad days are on record, so everything you do looks implicated. A growing list is a sign the method is producing false positives, not that you are surrounded by triggers.

Is my skin data private?

Yes. Your entries and photos stay on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers or tied to an account, and you can export or delete everything at any time.
