    We have completed two surveys with our members and general public.  These surveys were developed with the input of our RRDi Medical Advisory Consultants, and consists of questions of most concern to these doctors when diagnosing rosacea and based upon last year's survey. The more members respond to the survey, the more accurate and complete will be our picture of the rosacea experience of our extensive community, so your input is highly valued by the RRDi.

    We appreciate your continued support of the RRDi in helping to find a cure for rosacea.

    Thanks very much for your participation.

    • This topic has been researched a lot. There are many, many published articles on this subject. We even have our own extensive post on this subject.   Think about it, is this what you as a rosacea sufferer want clinical studies and scientific medical journals to spend money on? The above article was published by the Dermatology Online Journal.

    • Another study on bacteria and rosacea which adds cutibacterium acens being LOWER and substantiating other papers that staphylococcus epidermis is higher in the 17  in the case group who had rosacea. No mention of other microbes, which is generally what western medicine focuses on including studies on rosacea. There are three other bacteria that are mentioned in rosacea studies which we list in this category Wouldn't it be incredible if 10,000 rosaceans got together and each one donated just one dollar and sponsored through a legal non profit organization for rosacea to investigate microbes other than bacteria, i.e., virus, archea, or for that matter whatever the 10,000 rosaceans wanted investigated by a show of hands? Could rosaceans actually come together and do their own rosacea research?

    • Dermatol Online J. 2023 Dec 15;29(6). doi: 10.5070/D329662989. ABSTRACT Research in dermatology education highlights the lack of skin of color (SOC) instruction for medical students, leading to concerning healthcare outcomes. Because of the already limited opportunity for students to have dedicated teaching in pathophysiology, management, and treatment of dermatologic diseases in medical school, we developed an educational module that addresses these gaps. We created a one-hour virtual lecture for medical students focused on common skin diseases tested on the United States Medical Licensing Examination with visual images across all skin types. A questionnaire was administered before and after the educational module to assess outcomes comparing disease identification in lighter (Fitzpatrick scale I-III) versus darker (Fitzpatrick scale IV-VI) skin tones and to determine medical school student attitudes. An analysis of 43 examination scores before, and after attending the educational module determined rosacea, psoriasis, and basal cell carcinoma to be conditions in SOC patients that demonstrated the most significant improvement (47.3%, 54.9%, and 30.8%, respectively). Our results also highlighted worse performance outcomes for diseases in SOC in the pre-examination questionnaire. Thus, our study indicates that a concise education module focused on disease presentations inclusive of all skin types may efficiently increase students' ability to identify diseases commonly misdiagnosed in the clinical setting.
