Managing a Burning Face: Clinical Manifestations and Therapeutic Approaches for Neurogenic Rosacea
2025
Overview
Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting middle-aged women. It presents with flushing, erythema, telangiectasia, papules, pustules, phymatous changes, and ocular involvement. Although typically grouped into four subtypes—erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, ocular, and phymatous—overlapping features often favor a phenotypic diagnostic approach. Neurogenic rosacea (NR) has emerged as a distinct subgroup featuring distinguishing features such as peripheral facial erythema, severe burning and stinging sensations, and resistance to standard rosacea therapies. Recent insights into the pathophysiology of NR propose neural dysregulation as the main driver of the condition. Specifically, the activation of TRP channels at cutaneous sensory nerve endings in the dermis triggers the release of vasoactive peptides, driving neuroinflammation and resulting in burning and stinging. Additionally, there is a marked association with neuropsychiatric comorbidities, which would further mediate the pathogenesis of the condition. In line with this pathophysiological model, NR often fails to respond to conventional rosacea treatments. Instead, patients benefit more from antidepressants and neuroleptic agents that help modulate neuronal activity and alleviate symptoms. This review explores and summarizes the scientific evidence regarding the new insights on disease pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and proposed treatments for NR.
