“…However, men progress to the advanced stages more often than women. Eye involvement may be found in up to 58% of cases but is frequently undiagnosed [5, 6]. Rhinophyma, hyperplasia of nasal sebaceous glands and connective tissues, is seen almost exclusively in men over 40 years of age.…”

Rosacea is a common chronic cutaneous disorder of unknown etiology which occurs most commonly in middle-aged individuals. Cutaneous manifestations include transient or persistent facial erythema, telangiectasia, edema, papules and pustules that are usually confined to the central portion of the face. The National Rosacea Society’s Expert Committee on the Classification and Staging of Rosacea identified four subtypes of rosacea: erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous and ocular. Recently, a standard grading system for assessing gradations of the severity of rosacea has been reported. Little is known about the cause of rosacea. Genetic, environmental, vascular, inflammatory factors and microorganisms such as Demodex folliculorum and Helicobacter pylori have been considered. Topical metronidazole and azelaic acid have been demonstrated to be effective treatments for rosacea. Severer or persistent cases may be treated with oral metronidazole, tetracyclines or isotretinoin.

“…SD is often seen in conjunction with other skin diseases, including rosacea, blepharitis and/or ocular irritation, acne vulgaris, pityriasis versicolor and Malassezia folliculitis [4, 5, 6, 7]. The disease presents itself as red, flaking, greasy-looking patches of skin that are located most commonly on the scalp, nasolabial folds, eyebrows, ears and chest.…”

Etiology and Management of Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common dermatological disorder that varies greatly in severity between individuals and with time. The etiology of this disease is poorly understood. Early investigators focused on the role of Malassezia (previously Pityrosporum) yeasts in the development of SD. Some researchers have hypothesized that there is an immunological component to SD and that this disease is caused by an altered immune response to Malassezia yeasts. However, other researchers view this condition as the result of hyperproliferation. Both antifungal and anti-inflammatory preparations have been used to treat SD effectively and safely. The wide range of antifungal formulations available (creams, shampoos, oral drugs) provides safe, effective and flexible treatment options for SD.

“…Atopy is quite common, affecting up to 20% of the population [1]. Approximately 2% of the population is affected by atopic dermatitis, with most initial manifestations beginning in childhood [2]. Atopic dermatitis affecting the eyelids is one of the most common causes of chronic eyelid dermatitis.…”

“…The signs of the disease include eyelid swelling with erythema and a scaly, thickened, and wrinkled appearance of the skin (Table 1). With chronicity, lichenification can occur, which is thickening and accentuation of the normal skin lines [2,6]. The lids may become indurated, and eyelid malpositions, such as ectropion, can occur.…”

The ocular manifestations of atopic dermatitis and rosacea

Atopic dermatitis and rosacea are chronic diseases that have both dermatologic and ocular manifestations. The occurrence of ocular disease is often proportionately higher than that of dermatologic disease. Even if the skin abnormalities appear well controlled, these patients require ophthalmic evaluation as well. Optimal management usually requires a team approach that includes internists, dermatologists, and ophthalmologists. Both disorders are characterized by acute exacerbations and require maintenance therapy for control. Exacerbations need aggressive treatment to limit ocular signs and symptoms and to reduce ocular inflammation that can lead to permanent visual loss. Topical corticosteroid use, although at times needed, should be minimized for both disorders. Future research will continue to emphasize the use of steroid-sparing and immune-modulating agents that have the potential to provide long-lasting anti-inflammatory control with a more favorable side-effect profile.
