Preferred Label : Granulomatous rosacea;
ICD-11 definition : Granulomatous rosacea is an uncommon and distinctive condition which is accepted as
a variant of rosacea. It is characterized by chronic flesh-coloured, reddish-yellow
or yellow-brown papules particularly affecting the skin around the eyes, nose and
mouth. Lesions may appear singly or in profusion. The intervening skin is usually
normal. Diascopy reveals the granulomatous nature of the papules and histology may
show either caseating or non-caseating epithelioid-cell granulomas. It has been suggested
that it is a granulomatous reaction to ruptured hair follicles. Individual papules
may last for several years but may then regress spontaneously or heal with disfiguring
scars.;
