Rosacea is a type of inflammatory dermatosis, have a tendency to affect individuals with fair skin. Unevenness in a pittadosha, which can be affected by their lifestyle or diet, can unsettle the body's stability.

Common skin conditions such as rosacea, urticarial, psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, and other inflammatory conditions can occur due to imbalances in the doshas, resulting in an excess of heated pitta. According to Ayurveda, rosacea is generally an excess of rasagata pittavrudhi.
