Diagnosis

In the past many specialists have failed to correctly identify rosacea, probably because the rosacea lesions can so closely resemble acne.

However, even though a Rosacea papule or pustule may imitate acne, the key differentiation is that in Rosacea, there is no microcomedone activity present and Propionibacterium is not a factor.

Most commonly, the clinical onset of Rosacea begins between ages 30 to 50 years, but can occur in adolescence or in the elderly.
