Abstract: 【Abstract】 Rosacea is a kind of recurrent inflammatory skin disease that predominantly occurs on the face, significantly impacting the physical and mental health of patients. Properly guiding patients to understand rosacea, avoid potential triggers, and receive standardized treatment and skincare are important measures for effectively controlling the condition and preventing disease recurrence. Therefore, how to guide clinicians to provide patient education in a scientific, rational, and standardized way is particularly important. In order to enhance the awareness among Chinese clinicians regarding the importance of patient education for rosacea and to form unified and standardized guidance principles, the Chinese Society of Dermatology, the China Dermatologist Association, the Combination of Traditional and Western Medicine Dermatology, and the Chinese Non-Government Dermatologist Institutions Association organized Chinese experts focused on rosacea to develop a consensus based on the current status and advances in Chinese and international research. This consensus provides guidance on how clinicians can guide patients to correctly understand the disease, identify and reasonably avoid various triggers, receive standardized pharmacotherapy and laser/light therapies, and address psychological states and comorbidities. Additionally, expert recommendations were formulated through the Delphi method for clinical reference.
