Rosacea is a congestive blushing and
flushing reaction of the central areas of
the face. It is usually associated with an
acneiform component (papules,
pustules, and oily skin). It usually
occurs in middle-aged and older people.
The cheeks, nose, and chin, on the
entire face, may have a rosy hue.
Burning or stinging often accompanies
episodes of flushing. It is much more
common than lupus erythematosus, with which it is often confused. Rosacea
is distinguished from acne by age, the presence of the vascular component, and
the absence of comedones.

Folliculitis
Folliculitis is characterized by red-ringed papules and pustules at hair follicles. Gram-negative folliculitis may be spread by contaminated hot tubs. Gram stain and culture will help to differentiate bacterial from non-bacterial folliculitis. History is important for pinpointing the cause of non-bacterial folliculitis.

Impetigo
Superficial honey-colored serous crusts are characteristic of this disorder. It is usually caused by a staphylococcus infection. Culture is rarely reliable.
