The differential diagnosis essentially includes perioral dermatitis and sarcoidosis. Despite the differences in clinical presentation and histopathology, there is similar responses to the same therapies used in rosacea. Therapeutic failure should lead to the investigation of other rare and controversial conditions, such as acne agminata. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
