Rosacea

Experts are accustomed to using the term rosacea to understand a certain clinical picture: erythema, dilated vessels, and later papulopustular rashes. However, rosacea has several degrees of development and subtypes.

Degree of development of rosacea

• Episodic erythema (rosacea—diathesis);
• I degree - ETR (persistent erythema and single telangiectasia);
• II degree - papulopustular (persistent erythema, numerous telangiectasia, papules, pustules);
• III degree - pustular nodular (persistent erythema, an abundance of telangiectasias, papules, pustules, inflammatory edematous nodes).

There are currently 4 subtypes of rosacea :

1. ETR is characterized by persistent erythema of the central area of ​​the face, occurring before or simultaneously with papulopustules (subtype II), telangiectasia, and is accompanied by a burning sensation and tingling sensation.
2. PPR - persistent erythema, transient papules and pustules.
3. Phymatous rosacea is a thickening of the skin with an increase in the pathologically altered area.
4. Ophthalmic rosacea - dryness of the mucous membrane of the eyes, lacrimation, burning, swelling of the eyelids, recurrent inflammation and decreased visual acuity due to damage to the cornea.

Let's move on to diseases that require differential diagnosis with rosacea.

Seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with a violation of the amount and composition of sebum and a disturbance of the skin microbiota.

Clinical manifestations : hyperkeratosis, peeling, seborrhea, inflammation and itching.

Localization : areas with the largest number of sebaceous glands, including the T-zone of the face, as well as the scalp, upper third of the back and chest area, ears.

The common feature is centrofascial erythema, the distinctive features are: with rosacea – papules and telangiectasia, with seborrheic dermatitis – the formation of scales and peeling, which are not characteristic of rosacea.

Causes of the symptom

Keep in mind! Redness of the skin around the eyes in an adult or child can be caused by numerous reasons:

1. Allergy. Redness may be accompanied by skin rashes and spread throughout the face. The disorder always affects the areas of both eyes.
2. Blepharitis. This is an inflammation of the edge of the eyelid with characteristic redness of the skin, mainly in the area of ​​the lower or upper eyelid. It may not extend to the corners of the eyes.
3. Eczema. The disease is a chronic or acute skin rash of an inflammatory nature. In such cases, not only the skin, but also the whites of the eyes may turn red.
4. Rosacea of ​​the eye. With this disease of the blood vessels of the skin, extensive redness of the periocular area occurs. In this case, accompanying symptoms may appear in the form of pain, photophobia, sensations of the presence of a foreign body in the eyes and uncontrolled lacrimation.
5. Lyme disease. A bacterial dermatological lesion leading to rashes and redness around the eyes. Additionally, the patient experiences a feeling of itching and burning. In a complicated form, fever, headaches and dysfunction of the nervous system may develop.

It is worth noting! In addition to these pathological causes, which require drug treatment, redness around the eyes can also occur under the influence of less serious factors.

For example, a symptom may indicate lack of sleep, intolerance to some cosmetics, or injury .

A separate symptom can be considered redness, accompanied by peeling of the skin.

In addition to the fact that this can be observed with allergies, such a sign
may indicate demodicosis - damage to the eyelash follicles by the skin mite demodex.
In this case, this is not the main symptom, and redness with peeling mainly affects the edge of the upper and/or lower eyelid

The spread of redness to the entire periocular space is a consequence of irritation in patients with thin and delicate skin, while the mite itself cannot live on areas of the skin without hair.

Know! In rare cases, peeling and redness are an indirect sign of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: pathological disorders of intestinal absorption, constipation, dysbiosis, gastritis.

But it is possible to accurately establish the connection between these problems and redness only after examination by a specialist.

Acne vulgaris (acne)

Acne vulgaris usually occurs between the ages of 14 and 25, while rosacea occurs between 30 and 50 years. It is also necessary to carry out a differential diagnosis with late acne .

Common manifestations with late acne

Appearance after 40 years

Papulopustular skin rashes

Overproduction of sebum – oily skin

Possibly - prolonged exposure to the sun - a common “trigger”

Differential diagnosis

Criteria not typical for acne are diagnostic for rosacea:

Centrofascial erythema is redness of the central part of the face, which may be accompanied by subjective sensations of itching, burning or tingling. A must-have for rosacea!

Outbreaks of erythema - occur when nerve endings are irritated by provoking factors: stress, heat exposure, drinking hot and alcoholic drinks, etc.

Couperosis – appearance on the face, because the disease affects the vascular bed.

No comedones!

Anamnesis

An important part of any consultation. If the rash was present at a young age, the development of late acne is most likely.

Prevention

As a rule, treatment is not required when adequate disease prevention has been established. To prevent red spots from appearing in the eye area, it is necessary to act comprehensively: make it a rule to lead a healthy lifestyle, organize yourself proper rest, as well as sleep.

It is also necessary to strengthen the body’s immune system, for which it is worth taking the necessary vitamins and minerals. Reduce mental and visual stress, walk more often. Which will lead to the disappearance of symptoms and red spots will no longer be a serious problem for you.

Perioral dermatitis

Synonyms: rosacea-like dermatitis, flight attendant disease - rashes around the mouth: redness, swelling and papules.

Diagnostically difficult to distinguish disease of unknown etiology. Provoking factors : the use of steroids both locally and inhaled, fluoride-containing pastes, occlusive cosmetics.

The main diagnostic differences from rosacea: bright erythema and telangiectasia are rare. Localization: nasolabial folds, perioral region, chin, lower eyelids. Women aged 20-30 years and children are affected.

Distinctive feature : rapid regression of rashes, if a trigger factor is identified.

If visual diagnosis is difficult, a histological examination is recommended.

Diagnosis and treatment of SLE at the Yauza Clinical Hospital

Diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus at the initial stage of development makes it possible to achieve rapid and stable remission of the disease and avoid the development of severe complications. In the treatment of lupus, we use drug therapy (steroidal and non-steroidal drugs, biological genetically engineered drugs), methods of extracorporeal hemocorrection.

If symptoms of SLE appear, contact rheumatologists at the Yauza Clinical Hospital. Modern treatment methods, subject to preventive measures, make it possible to maintain a state of remission for years and even decades, give birth to children, and lead an ordinary normal life.
