A Danish case-control study of 6759 patients with rosacea and 33,795 matched controls demonstrates an association between female patients with rosacea and type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. 2 Moreover, not all of the disease features are present in every patient.

Ramelet, AA. )(A case-control study of 33,553 patients with rosacea and 67,106 age- and gender-matched control subjects demonstrate that patients with rosacea have an increased incidence of dyslipidemia. Use laboratory testing specific for each of the prior diagnoses (such as CBC, ANA, serum tryptase, and phototesting). I have very oily skin, with inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, and deep nodules) mainly on cheeks and chin. The glandular manifestations and the phymatous complication may be related to androgen stimulation.
