Case history

Case history

A 45-year-old woman presents with several years' history of easy blushing, facial redness, and small, prominent blood vessels on the face. On physical examination, there are numerous telangiectases on a background of blanching erythema. Closer inspection demonstrates erythematous papules and pustules mostly on the central peri-orificial face.

Other presentations

Atypical presentations include adults aged <30 years, children, and people with only ocular findings (e.g., lid margin telangiectases, interpalpebral conjunctival injection, scleritis and sclerokeratitis).[1][2][3]
