Hypothyroidism is a common disease, and there may be a link between hypothyroidism and inflammatory skin disease. The purpose of this study is to assess whether hypothyroidism is more prevalent in psoriasis or rosacea patients. We utilized a large claims-based database to analyze rates of hypothyroidism in patients with psoriasis and rosacea compared to other patients with skin diseases. Partic...

Background: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR) features persistent erythema, flushing, telangiectasia and hyperpigmentation. Our previous study revealed that carvedilol is sufficient to ameliorate erythema with poor efficiency in improving α-hydroxy acid (αHA) treatment intense pulsed light (IPL) have both been indicated improve Objective: aimed explore the impact of αHA combination IPL on ...

Rosacea is a very common skin disorder in the clinical practice that primarily affects the convex areas of the face. Extrafacial rosacea lesions have occasionally been described, but extensive involvement is exceptional. In the absence of its typical clinical or histological features, the diagnosis of extrafacial rosacea may be problematic. We describe an unusual case of rosacea with very exube...

Rosacea is a common skin disease of unknown etiology. The aim of the present paper is to explain the role of oxidative stress triggered by UV light and iron metabolism in the pathophysiology of rosacea. It was recently described that the number of ferritin positive cells was significantly higher in skin samples of rosacea patients compared to controls of healthy skin samples. The presence of fe...

Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory disease with exacerbations. The disease affecting the capillary vessels and pilosebaceous unit, is characterized by midfascial erythema, telangiectasia, papules and pustules [1]. It is known four subtypes [2] as erythematotelangiectatic (type I), papulopustular (II), phimatous (III) and ocular rosacea (IV). Pathophysiological mechanism is associated with infla...

BACKGROUND Rosacea is a chronic facial skin disease associated with excessive inflammatory response to various triggers. Although some studies have supported the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in rosacea, it has not been completely accepted. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate epicardial fat thickness and carotid intima-media thickness as cardiovascular risk predictors in rosacea pat...

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the skin of the face and the eyes. The aetiology of rosacea is not clearly established but increasing evidence suggests a potential role for bacteria in the induction of the condition. A role for Bacillus oleronius, originally isolated from within a Demodex folliculorum mite, in the aetiology of the condition has been suggested. The aim o...
