Nineteen dermatologists and two eye specialists voted anonymously, in rounds, until they agreed on how rosacea should be diagnosed and treated. Their headline recommendation is to treat the specific features a person actually has rather than sorting them into a subtype, and to aim for completely clear skin rather than just improvement. This is expert opinion arrived at systematically — useful for framing, but it carries less weight than a trial, because no new patients were studied.
