What defines Type 2 Rosacea?

  1. Visible blood vessels

  2. Facial flushing only

  3. Bumps and pimples

  4. Excessive dryness

The correct answer is: Bumps and pimples

Type 2 Rosacea, often referred to as papulopustular rosacea, is primarily characterized by the presence of bumps and pimples on the skin. These lesions typically appear on the central part of the face, including the cheeks, nose, and forehead, and can be accompanied by redness. This distinguishes it from other forms of rosacea that may present differently, such as the flushing associated with Type 1 Rosacea or the visible blood vessels seen in Type 3 Rosacea. The bumps and pimples can resemble acne, which leads to confusion but are different in terms of their underlying causes and treatment. In contrast, conditions like visible blood vessels are more characteristic of another type of rosacea, while facial flushing is primarily associated with an earlier stage of the condition. Excessive dryness is not a defining feature of Type 2 Rosacea either, as the primary symptoms are related to inflammation and not dryness.
