Abstract
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that may manifest with flushing, erythema, telangiectasia, papules and pustules, or phymatous changes, occasionally with ocular involvement.1 It was widely accepted that rosacea typically occurs in people aged 30-50 years old.2 However, the youngest rosacea patient reported was an eight-year-old girl, inspiring dermatologists to pay more attention to the evaluation of rosacea among younger populations.3 Moreover, evidence supported that not merely adults but also adolescents are subject to the influence caused by their skin conditions.4 Hence, we aimed to explore the prevalence, clinical characteristics and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of rosacea in Chinese adolescents to establish future guidelines.
