"Mast cells are innate immune cells that can be found in virtually all tissues. Recently, increasing evidence has indicated that mast cells have important effects on the pathogenesis of rosacea."

"Cromolyn sodium or other MC stabilizers affect the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from MCs to ameliorate erythema in ETR. Drugs including brimonidine and BoNT can also reduce the recruitment of MCs and inhibit MC degranulation to improve inflammation associated with rosacea."

One mast cell, Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor-X2 (MRGPRX2), has been found to be significant, and that "its inappropriate activation may cause pseudoallergy and likely contribute to the pathogenesis of rosacea, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, urticaria and mastocytosis."

"By contrast, MRGPRX2-specific antibodies and inhibitors could be utilized for the modulation of allergic and inflammatory diseases that are mediated via this receptor."

"One study showed that the number of mast cells was significantly higher in lesions than in clinically uninvolved skin in patients with papulopustular and erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, and there was a positive correlation between mast cell density and the duration of rosacea."
