Abstract
The clinical features of localized nasal rosacea have not been described in detail. This study was designed to analyze the subtypes and severity of localized nasal rosacea. Our present study included 30 patients with localized nasal rosacea. The erythematotelangiectatic subtype (13/30, 43.3%) was the most common type, followed by the phymatous subtype (9/30, 30%). The duration of rosacea was shorter and the severity of localized nasal rosacea was lower in the erythematotelangiectatic subtype cases compared with the patients with mixed or phymatous subtypes. Almost all of the papulopustular eruptions or phymatous lesions were associated with erythematotelangiectatic lesions. These findings suggest that the erythematotelangiectatic subtype may be considered the initial phase of localized nasal rosacea.
