Studies have shown that women are affected about two to three times more frequently than men. Rosacea may be underdiagnosed because patients may not discuss the symptoms with their physician and because some physicians may not recognize the disorder. Rosacea may be overlooked in nonwhites because of a low index of suspicion or because skin pigmentation results in an atypical presentation. Ocular complications and late manifestations of rosacea may occur in a disproportionate number of dark-skinned persons.
