Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Dermatological disorders

Background:

  • Rosacea is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting middle-aged individuals.
  • Its exact etiology is not fully understood but is likely related to vascular anomalies in fair-skinned individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of rosacea's etiology.
  • To discuss established and emerging treatment options for rosacea.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of rosacea pathogenesis and treatment modalities.
  • Analysis of conventional therapies (oral antibiotics, topical metronidazole) and newer interventions (isotretinoin, laser therapy, surgery).

Main Results:

  • Oral antibiotics and topical metronidazole are mainstays for inflammatory rosacea lesions.

  • Antibiotics are less effective for erythema and telangiectasias.
  • Isotretinoin offers an option for resistant cases but has significant side effects.
  • Laser ablation and surgery are effective for telangiectasias and rhinophyma, respectively, but are costly and less accessible.

    • Conclusions:

    • Rosacea management requires a tailored approach based on lesion type and severity.
    • Long-term management is often necessary due to common recurrences.
    • Emerging treatments offer alternatives for refractory rosacea, though cost and availability remain considerations.
