Ok guys, i noticed a lot of people over in the rosacea forums are suffering from KPRF and trying to approach it like rosacea. So, lets make a detailed list of the similarities and differences. Just post any similarities and differences you know or can find and post them, i will keep them updated.

Differences:
- Rosacea usually starts after 30's, While KPRF can start at any time.
- Rosacea is usually accompanied by "Acne" different from white/black heads...usually contains pus, While kPRF bumps(if on the face) contain keratin(usually small hard bumps)
- Rosacea redness can be all over the face, while KPRF usually is limited to cheeks, chin, ears(?), areas to the left and right of eyes(top of sideburns)
- Rosacea have a set treatment, while KPRF is treated many different ways and usually varies from person to person.

Also the nose, when I thought I had rosascea I read it gets pretty much injuried with time. Nothing like that with KPRF...

Something else... does KP have anything to see with allergy? Cause I think Rosascea doesn't
