摘　　要：To the Editor:Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with typical manifestations such as flushing,erythema,papules,pustules,and phymatous changes.[1]It has been indicated that the resulting abnormal skin barrier structure and function was associated with the etiology and pathological process of rosacea.[2]Transepidermal water loss(TEWL)and stratum corneum hydration(SCH)are commonly used to evaluate skin barrier function and must be measured using specific instruments,such as the Cutometer MPA 580(Courage&Khazaka Electronic GmbH,Cologne,Germany)and GPSkin Barrier(GPOWER Inc.,Seoul,South Korea),which inter-correlate well.[3]However,these instruments are not available to most dermatologists.Dermoscopy has been incorporated into the clinical practice of most dermatologists.Practically,dermoscopy is more accessible to clinical dermatologists than skin barrier measure instruments.
