  Hilary Baldwin, MD, FAAD, highlighted diagnostic complexities and shared treatment strategies for rosacea in patients with darker skin tones at the Skin of Color Update in New York City last Friday. […] Baldwin went into more detail about diagnosing rosacea, especially in patients of color. […] Therefore, Baldwin emphasized the importance of examining patients for erythema, papules, pustules, telangiectasias, and ocular symptoms, while also asking about symptoms like burning, itching, and stinging. […] In these patients, clinicians are particularly looking for ocular symptoms and asking about burning, itching, stinging, and sensations of warmth. However, Baldwin highlighted that patients of color rarely receive a rosacea diagnosis, even when they display these symptoms. […] Consequently, she stressed that misdiagnoses or delayed diagnoses can lead to worse patient outcomes. […] Bottom line, a diagnosis not considered is a diagnosis not made, so we really need to do a better job in this regard, Baldwin said.

  The diagnosis of rosacea in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick phototypes V and VI) is difficult as erythema and telangiectasia may not be readily visible, and a high level of suspicion based on minor features is required. […] A less common variant of rosacea is granulomatous rosacea, with multiple brown, yellow, or red cutaneous papules of uniform size. […] Occasionally, skin biopsy may be useful for diagnostic support. […] The phenotype approach establishes diagnosis and management based on the presenting features of the individual. […] While previously classified according to subtypes, each potentially comprising multiple signs and symptoms, this nomenclature should be abandoned as it limits the ability to study, evaluate, and treat individual features. […] The phenotype approach more accurately addresses patient features and can facilitate focused treatment on those of greatest severity and impact.

  This increases the accuracy of diagnosis to focus on either centrofacial erythema or phymatous changes as diagnostic features independently, Dr. Tan says. […] Practically, in our current phenotypic-led classification, its not important to be grouping into subtypes. Its more important to be categorizing based on patients presentation in terms of signs and symptoms, he says. […] So, if they simply presented with centrofacial erythema that would be diagnostic of rosacea, but we wouldnt go onto subtype. […] The new recommendation allows providers to focus on treating what patients indicate are their most bothersome rosacea symptoms, Dr. Tan says. […] Using a phenotype-led approach makes scale development and phenotype evaluation more simplified and targeted. […] The global representation will help to shed light on research needed to determine whether rosacea is, indeed, a global condition.

  The classification of rosacea has evolved from a division into distinct subtypes (erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, papulopustular rosacea, phymatous rosacea, and ocular rosacea) to a phenotype-based approach that views the various features of rosacea as manifestations of a continuous multivariate disease process. […] Nonpharmacologic interventions may be useful for the management of the cutaneous manifestations of rosacea.

  Patients seeking rapid improvement, including those who have previously used topical therapies, are often prescribed oral systemic agents alongside topical treatments. […] Published guidelines lack specific guidance on alternative therapies, treatment adjustments, and treatment for specific patient types. […] Emphasizing the diagnosis and management of rosacea in patients with skin of color is also recommended, as facial erythema and telangiectasias can be more difficult to visualize in darker skin, leading to underdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and treatment, and worsening chronic manifestations of rosacea, such as ocular or phymatous changes. […] Although the consistency of recommendations for rosacea management has improved with the phenotype approach, it is important to standardize definitions and specific criteria to avoid confusion among clinicians.

  This increases the accuracy of diagnosis to focus on either centrofacial erythema or phymatous changes as diagnostic features independently, Dr. Tan says. […] Practically, in our current phenotypic-led classification, its not important to be grouping into subtypes. Its more important to be categorizing based on patients presentation in terms of signs and symptoms, he says. […] So, if they simply presented with centrofacial erythema that would be diagnostic of rosacea, but we wouldnt go onto subtype. […] The new recommendation allows providers to focus on treating what patients indicate are their most bothersome rosacea symptoms, Dr. Tan says. […] Using a phenotype-led approach makes scale development and phenotype evaluation more simplified and targeted. […] The global representation will help to shed light on research needed to determine whether rosacea is, indeed, a global condition. […] We think it probably is, but it may manifest differently in patients of different skin color and skin tone, Dr. Tan says.
