  • Emphasis on practical diagnostic considerations.

    • Main Results:

    • Facial erythema is linked to common dermatoses like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and urticaria.
    • It also appears in rarer conditions including keratinization disorders, infections, porphyrias, neoplasia, carcinoid syndrome, and drug allergies.
    • Rare associations include Bloom's syndrome, sarcoidosis, lymphoma, and amyloidosis.
