Signes cliniques de la rosacée

Stage IV is mainly observed in males and is characterized mainly by rhinophyma. There is no consensus regarding the description of the other variants. NRS describe a particular subtype, granulomatous or lupoid rosacea, characterized by yellowish or brownish papules of the cheeks and peri-orificial areas. Ocular rosacea is common and should be systematically looked for in all patients with rosacea. Steroid rosacea is a complication of topical corticosteroids use on the face. Fulminant rosacea occurs abruptly in young women, who develop papules, pustules and deep purulent sinuses. Treatment includes the combination of systemic corticosteroids and isotretinoin. Rosacea is also possible in children. Clinical knowledge of rosacea and its clinical forms is essential for appropriate treatment, that can change the patients'life.
