Question KPRF vs. Rosacea

I'm confused.

I see all kinds of posts promoting the use of rosacea treatments for treating KPRF, but I am under the assumption that these are 2 different and unrelated conditions.

KPRF is the build-up of keratin under the skin, which presses the capillaries against the surface, resulting in the redness. It can affect the whole cheek.

Rosacea is a surface condition of blemishes and some redness that spreads across the top part of the cheeks.

So how can rosacea products help KPRF?

Blessings

They don't actually help with KP directly. They do absolutly nothing for the follicles. The follicles are the cause of the redness and inflammation. But, the rosacea products/treatments can help control the blood vessels/redness.
