A study found that patients with rosacea are at an increased risk for malignant melanoma, joint problems, metabolic disease, and visual disturbances. The study used the TriNetX platform to analyze real-world patient data and found a strong association between rosacea and skin cancer. The risk of melanoma was notably higher in patients with rosacea compared to those without. Other comorbidities such as heart disease, ophthalmologic disease, and joint problems were also linked to rosacea. The study recommends further research to understand the connection between rosacea and these diseases and to consider confounding factors in future studies.
