AB Acne  rosacea  is  a  chronic  vascular  and  acneiform  disorder  of  the  pilosebaceous  unit  that  affects  predominantly  the  central  face  including  the  central  cheeks,  nose,  and  chin.  The  eyes  and  the  eyelids  can  occasionally  be  involved.  Typically,  there  is  an  increased  reactivity  of  capillaries  to  heat,  leading  to  flushing  and  ultimately  telangiectasia.  Subtypes  of  rosacea  include  (1)  vascular  rosacea  (erythematotelangiectatic),  (2)  papulopustular  rosacea,  (3)  sebaceous  hyperplasia  (phymatous  rosacea)  including  rhinophyma  (nasal  sebaceous  hyperplasia),  and  (4)  ocular  rosacea.  Granulomatous  rosacea  is  a  variant  of  rosacea.
