Differential diagnosis of rosacea

Abstract

The clinical picture of rosacea, including facial skin erythema, telangiectasia, and popular, and pustular elements, is similar to other dermatoses, thereby causing difficulties in the differential diagnosis. Original photos and descriptions of the clinical signs that distinguish these diseases from rosacea are provided. Therefore, the possibility of rare skin lesions that are sometimes mistaken for a more frequent pathology should be considered to avoid diagnostic errors.
