Evaluation and management of the "red face". Interview by K. Watsky and M. Rothe.

Abstract

Patients presenting with a "red face" challenge clinicians to consider a broad differential diagnosis that includes contact dermatitis. The diagnosis may be obscured or complicated by underlying actinic damage or rosacea. Unraveling this Gordian knot to arrive at a precise and accurate diagnosis takes patience and practice. The collective experience of our invited group of expert clinicians sheds light on this process.
