This review explored nuances in clinical presentation and treatment considerations in SOC patients with rosacea and the role of cleansers and moisturizers in the management of rosacea in these populations.METHODS: A panel reviewed and discussed aspects of rosacea in SOC and possible implications for treatment and maintenance. The outcome of these discussions, coupled with the panel's expert opinion and experience was used to define draft statements. After group discussions and an online review process, the panel agreed on the inclusion and wording of five statements.RESULTS: Studies and anecdotal clinical experience suggest that rosacea is more common in SOC populations than previously reported. The clinical presentation of rosacea across diverse skin types includes the spectrum of clinical subtypes observed in other populations; however, clinical features may be less conspicuous in individuals with higher skin phototypes and the index of suspicion may be lower in SOC populations. To avoid underdiagnosis, dermatologists should consider rosacea in the differential diagnosis of any patient presenting with a history of skin sensitivity, central facial erythema, papules, and pustules. The compromised barrier in rosacea contributes to skin sensitivity. Studies including Chinese rosacea patients showed that using a moisturizer and sunscreen negatively correlated with rosacea development.CONCLUSIONS: The use of skincare could improve rosacea symptomatology. These products are recommended before and during prescription therapy and as part of a maintenance regimen as adjuncts.
