AB |PrintRosacea  at  a  GlanceRosacea  affects  all  races,  but  is  most  common  in  fair-skinned  individuals.Triggers  of  rosacea  may  include  hot  or  cold  temperature,  sunlight,  wind,  hot  drinks,  exercise,  spicy  food,  alcohol,  emotions,  cosmetics,  topical  irritants,  menopausal  flushing,  and  medications  that  promote  flushing.There  are  four  rosacea  subtypes:  erythematotelangiectatic,  papulopustular,  phymatous,  and  ocular.The  primary  clinical  features  of  rosacea  include  flushing,  inflammatory  papules,  pustules,  and  telangiectases.Secondary  features  of  rosacea  may  include  facial  burning  and  stinging,  edema,  plaques,  a  dry  appearance,  phyma,  peripheral  flushing,  and  ocular  manifestations.Sun  protection  and  trigger  avoidance  are  important  for  prevention  in  all  types  of  rosacea.Rosacea  therapy  may  include  barrier  protection  practices,  topical  antimicrobials,  oral  antibiotics,  retinoids,  intense  pulsed  light,  and  vascular  laser  modalities  for  adequate  long-term  control  of  symptoms.
