Objective: To determine the psychosocial impact of Rosacea on Women QOL (Quality of life) and female self-esteem. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional paper based survey at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, United Kingdom from January to June 2019. Results: 42% of the female patients used makeup "all the time" to cover the rosacea. Correlation Coefficient (r) between the two variables (Rosenberg Self Esteem Score (RSES) and Function score) was noted to be-0.78. 53% of the patients were noted to experience frustration "all the time" as a result of rosacea. Conclusion: Results from this study highlight the psychosocial burden of Rosacea on female population and the need to recognize the importance of cosmetic camouflage and psychological intervention as part of treatment for rosacea in women.
