What May Look Like Rosacea

Acne
Why is rosacea sometimes confused with acne? What are the similarities, differences, and what problem does this present?

Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a reaction to environmental factors. Generally, there are two types of dermatitis: Irritant and Allergic Contact Dermatitis. Although they are completely separate from rosacea, the symptoms are common, sometimes confusing patients.

Lupus Erythematosus
Lupus erythematosus is a relatively uncommon autoimmune disease that has some symptoms which can mimic that of rosacea.

Perioral Dermatitis
Perioral dermatitis presents as a series of small red bumps that come in patches and may, sometimes, look like rosacea. The lower half of the face-the nose, chin, and the lower mouth-are often affected.

Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition that is often confused with severe dandruff. Unlike dandruff, however, the rashes and scales with unclear borders can extend down to the face, sometimes resembling rosacea.
