Which type of Rosacea am I experiencing ?

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 thickening of the skin, 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 hard, 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.
