The aim of this review is to gather the most recent evidence on burning and stinging, in order to further emphasize the need to address these symptoms. Inflammatory pathways can explain both the signs and symptoms of rosacea, but available treatments are still evaluated primarily on their ability to treat visible signs. Recent evidence also highlights the adverse impact of symptoms, particularly burning and stinging, on quality of life. Despite an increasing understanding of symptoms and their impact, the management of burning and stinging as part of rosacea treatment has not been widely investigated. Clinicians often underestimate the impact of these symptoms and do not routinely include them as part of management. Available therapies for rosacea have the potential to treat beyond signs, and improve burning and stinging symptoms in parallel. Further investigation is needed to better understand these benefits and to optimize the management of rosacea.</p>}, number={10}, journal={Acta Dermato-Venereologica}, author={Schaller, Martin and Dirschka, Thomas and Lonne-Rahm, Sol-Britt and Micali, Giuseppe and Stein Gold, Linda F. and Tan, Jerry and Del Rosso, James}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={adv00584} }
