Abstract

We end 2023 highlighting two different etiologies of skin conditions: inflammation and pressure. This month’s continuing education article explores facial rosacea. This chronic inflammatory disease usually develops between 30 to 50 years of age with one or more of the four subtypes: ocular involvement (itchy red eyes with blepharitis), inflammatory (papules and pustules but no comedones), flushing and erythema (with telangiectasia) and rhinophyma (enlargement of connective tissue, commonly the nose).
