title: An evaluation of potential correlations between pathophysiologic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and management of rosacea.
abstract: This article discusses rosacea, a common facial dermatosis of uncertain etiology and recent investigations that have begun to shed considerable light on the sequence of events leading to clinical manifestations of rosacea. The article content is based on a dedicated meeting about rosacea sanctioned by the American Acne & Rosacea Society (AARS) and represents the consensus of the authors and AARS Board of Directors.
