Rosacea is a common skin condition that primarily affects the face and often manifests in various ways. There are several subtypes of Rosacea, including:
Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: This subtype is characterized by persistent redness (erythema) and visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) on the face. It may also cause flushing and a sensation of heat.
Papulopustular Rosacea: This type involves redness, swelling, and acne-like breakouts (papules and pustules) on the central part of the face. It can be mistaken for acne.
Phymatous Rosacea: This subtype is less common but can lead to skin thickening, especially around the nose (rhinophyma), making it appear enlarged and bulbous.
Ocular Rosacea: In this form, symptoms primarily affect the eyes, causing redness, dryness, irritation, and sometimes blurred vision.
Granulomatous Rosacea: This rare subtype results in complex, yellow or brownish bumps on the skin.
It's important to note that individuals with Rosacea may experience a combination of these subtypes, and symptoms can vary in severity.
