text (i.e. there are other factors and types that come into play).
"The system divides rosacea into four subtypes: erythematotelangiectatic,
papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular. As presently worded, papulopustular
rosacea is noted as often being observed following or with

without rosacea signs from the diagnosis of rosacea."
