rss Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 The great mimickers of rosacea. Cutis. 2014 Jul;94(1):39-45 Authors: Olazagasti J, Lynch P, Fazel N Abstract Although rosacea is one of the most common conditions treated by dermatologists, it also is one of the most misunderstood. It is a chronic disorder affecting the central parts of the face and is characterized by frequent flushing; persistent erythema (ie, lasting for at least 3 months); telangiectasia; and interspersed episodes of inflammation with swelling, papules, and pustules. Understanding the clinical variants and disease course of rosacea is important to differentiate this entity from other conditions that can mimic rosacea. Herein we present several mimickers of rosacea that physicians should consider when diagnosing this condition.
