Other Skin Conditions May Be Misdiagnosed as Rosacea
A Differential Diagnosis is Required by a Physician

Please note: In my book, Rosacea 101, I wrote a chapter What is Rosacea? and discuss how important it is to get an accurate diagnosis from a physician since there is much confusion with rosacea. Another chapter discusses Rosacea Mimics. In Appendix A, Rosacea Variants, you will find more information and Appendix B, lists other skin conditions.

Rosacea 101 is a comprehensive, 373 page book, covering the conventional and alternative treatments for rosacea and covers basic rosacea 101 knowledge for rosacea newbies. It is a must have book for those who need in one book what they need to know about rosacea. Below is some information which helped formed the basis for my comprehensive list of other skin conditions that mimic rosacea in Appendix B which lists 54 skin conditions that looks like rosacea.

This list is by no means complete and no doubt other skin condtions may be added later. Please read this article first.
