Flushing due to rosacea may be mistaken for sensitive skin, which can manifest as abnormal sensations during fairly acute reactions to a variety of triggers, many of which are shared by rosacea and sensitive skin. Nevertheless, the two conditions are clearly different. Rosacea is a vascular disease, worsens gradually over time, manifests as flares triggered chiefly by systemic factors, is largely confined to the facial and/or ocular regions, and responds to specific treatments. Sensitive skin, in contrast, is an epidermal cosmetic problem that runs a variable course, with diffuse skin involvement and flares triggered mainly by contact factors. The flares respond to specific cosmetics and are usually worsened by treatments for rosacea.
酒渣鼻引起的面部潮红可能被误诊为敏感性皮肤，后者在对各种诱因产生相当急性的反应期间可表现为异常感觉，其中许多诱因是酒渣鼻和敏感性皮肤所共有的。然而，这两种情况明显不同。酒渣鼻是一种血管性疾病，会随着时间逐渐恶化，表现为主要由全身因素引发的潮红，主要局限于面部和/或眼部区域，并对特定治疗有反应。相比之下，敏感性皮肤是一种表皮美容问题，病程不定，皮肤广泛受累，潮红主要由接触因素引发。这些潮红对特定化妆品有反应，通常会因酒渣鼻的治疗而加重。
