In Episode 24 of Derms and Conditions, our host James Q. Del Rosso, DO talks with Julie C. Harper, MD who is in private practice in Birmingham, AL and is a recent past-President of the American Acne and Rosacea Society. Dr. Del Rosso and Dr. Harper spend the episode discussing important considerations in the diagnosis and treatment of rosacea. Emphasis is placed on noting the sources of facial redness in rosacea so that treatment selection can be optimized.

Dr. Harper includes practical tips for treating a rosacea patient who presents with both persistent facial erythema and papules/pustules and concludes the episodes presenting her "STOP" mnemonic when seeing a rosacea patient in the office.
