Original photos and descriptions of the clinical signs that distinguish these diseases from rosacea are provided. Therefore, the possibility of rare skin lesions that are sometimes mistaken for a more frequent pathology should be considered to avoid diagnostic errors.</p>rosaceadifferential diagnosisрозацеадифференциальная диагностика[Franceschini F., Calzavara-Pinton P., Quinzanini M., et al.
