Survey: Other Skin Conditions Often Present in Rosacea
Patients
Although rosacea patients often have to cope with other skin disorders in
addition to their rosacea, treatment for other conditions may tend to reduce
rosacea flare-ups, according to a new survey by the National Rosacea Society.

Treating Rosacea and Seborrhea
Atopic dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis may often occur at the same time as
rosacea, said Dr. Guy Webster, clinical professor of dermatology at Jefferson
Medical College, speaking on "What's new in rosacea?" during the recent
annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Atopic
dermatitis is a long-term (chronic) skin disorder that involves scaly and itchy
rashes, and seborrheic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition that
causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or
inside the ear.

Q&A: Oily Skin a Precursor & Immune System Link
Q. Is oily skin usually a precursor to rosacea?
A. There is no evidence that oily skin leads to rosacea. Many rosacea patients
experience dry skin, while others may have normal or oily skin, or both. The key
is to use skin-care products and procedures that are suitable for your individual
case.
Q. Has rosacea been linked to other diseases, particularly those
relating to the immune system?

According to a new study, rosacea is the most common facial skin disorder
overlapping with seborrheic dermatitis (SD), a chronic and recurring
inflammatory condition characterized by a red, scaly or itchy rash often found in
the creases around the nose, the inner eyebrows or as dandruff on the scalp.
Dr. James Del Rosso, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the
University of Nevada, found that 26 percent of rosacea patients had facial SD
and 28 percent had SD of the scalp.

Survey Reveals Rosacea Patients Often Have Other Skin
Conditions
Rosacea patients may often suffer from other skin conditions in addition to
dealing with the effects of their rosacea, according to a new survey conducted
by the National Rosacea Society.
"It's common for people to experience more than one skin condition, especially
as they grow older," said Dr. James Del Rosso, clinical assistant professor of
dermatology at the University of Nevada. "While the potential signs and
symptoms of rosacea itself can be quite varied, it is important to consider the
possibility of other skin disorders as well."

Doctors Unmask Rosacea Impostors to Formulate
Appropriate Therapy
While a host of conditions can cause symptoms that may superficially resemble
rosacea, dermatologists are increasingly able to pinpoint this widespread
disorder and any concurrent conditions in order to tailor appropriate therapy for
the individual patient. Proper diagnosis of rosacea can be especially important,
since treatments for similar-appearing conditions can often make rosacea
worse.
