Rosacea and fungal infection in the face and the link with stress

Hi, I suffer from rosacea which I'm able to control quite well using a specific treatment.
Recently, I also developed a fungal infection in my face for which I also have a specific treatement. I felt quite bad and started to worry about this and whether it might be related to stress and/or nutrition. Also, how can I make sure my skin condition is not visible for other people around me to avoid comments about the redness of my face and the infection.
Finally, my dermatologists suggested laser therapy to treat my rosacea but I was wondering about the side effects and whether this is effective.
