Rosacea Classification & Grading
The National Rosacea Society (NRS) convened a committee of dermatology thought leaders to develop a standard classification system for rosacea. Based on the primary and secondary characteristics of this disorder, the NRS Expert Committee identified 4 types of rosacea: erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular; one variant, granulomatous, also was recognized. The NRS Expert Committee also developed a grading system for rosacea signs and symptoms that will complement this classification system.
