Preface
Rosacea has long been considered a chronic but often relatively benign dermatologic condition that has infrequently garnered extensive attention among clinicians and researchers. In recent years, this chronic condition has seen increased interest within the medical community, which has led to a new classification system proposed by the National Rosacea Society, development of several new treatments, and advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology. In addition, increasing evidence supports several comorbidities and a significant psychosocial impact associated with rosacea, dispelling the notion of rosacea as a benign disease. We have selected worldwide leaders in rosacea to summarize current knowledge and educate clinicians on the most pressing changes and research in the field of rosacea. We would like to thank all of our authors
