[Rosacea - manifestations and treatment options].

Rosacea - manifestations and treatment options Abstract. Rosacea is a common dermatosis of the face with a prevalence of up to 22 %, according to the current literature. The known trigger factors include caffeine, alcohol, sunlight, hot and spicy foods, psychological stress, menstruation and extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations. Diagnosis is most often clinical, however, due to the numerous differential diagnoses, performing a biopsy may be helpful in atypical manifestations. Depending on the symptoms, in addition to the avoidance of trigger factors, physical therapeutic options as well as topical and systemic drugs are available.
