Abstract
Rosacea is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that primarily involves the central face. Common clinical features include facial erythema, telangiectasias, and inflammatory papules or pustules. Many patients seek therapy due to concern over the effect of rosacea on physical appearance. As there is no cure for rosacea, treatment is focused on symptom suppression. Rosacea can manifest with a wide variety of cutaneous features. Examples include persistent centrofacial redness, phymatous skin changes (eg, rhinophyma), papules, pustules, flushing, telangiectases, burning or stinging sensations, edema, and skin dryness.
