Rosacea is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that primarily involves the central face. Common clinical features include facial erythema, telangiectasias, and inflammatory papules or pustules. Many patients seek therapy due to concern over the effect of rosacea on physical appearance. As there is no cure for rosacea, treatment is focused on symptom suppression. Rosacea can manifest with a wide variety of cutaneous features. Examples include persistent centrofacial redness, phymatous skin changes (eg, rhinophyma), papules, pustules, flushing, telangiectases, burning or stinging sensations, edema, and skin dryness.

The classification of rosacea has evolved from a division into distinct subtypes (erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, papulopustular rosacea, phymatous rosacea, and ocular rosacea) to a phenotype-based approach that views the various features of rosacea as manifestations of a continuous multivariate disease process. The approach to treatment is guided by the clinical features present in an individual patient. Given the common presence of multiple features, combination therapy may be necessary to achieve satisfactory control of disease.

Dermatology is a discipline of medical science that deals with the dermal, skin diseases and associated treatment regime. Clinical practises in relation to dermatology embrace several sub disciplines including dermatitis, cosmetic dermatology, dermatopathology, immunodermatology, pediatric dermatology, cutaneous lymphoma, lesions, melanoma, blisters etc. The increase environmental concerns, radiations are directly or indirectly impacting the different layers of skin. Owing to the importance of each sub discipline the Journal of Clinical & Experimental Dermatology Research renders a common platform for the discussion of various important issues which may be helpful for the Dermatologists, clinicians, medical practitioners, patients, researchers, faculty members and students.

The Journal of Clinical & Experimental Dermatology Research is an open access, peer-reviewed, academic journal covering diversified aspects within the discipline containing disease conditions such as psoriasis, acne, skin cancer, atopic dermatitis (eczema), shingles (herpes zoster), rosacea, oral pemphigus vulgaris, oral pemphigoid, scars, rosacea, sports associated dermal diseases such as exercise induced vasculitis, golfers vasculitis, chronic folliculitis, bullous pemphigoid, median raphe cyst, acral melanoma, trichostasis spinulosa, angiosarcomas (AS), pilomatrix carcinoma, psoriasis, lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei (LMDF). Different treatment regime, such as, subcutaneous testosterone, zinc, skin care and hair loss etc. will be considered under the scope of the journal. Best quality articles are expected to maintain the standard of the journal and to achieve dermatology Journals high impact factor. This journal renders an excellent platform for the authors and readers to share important scientific information comprehensively on the relevant topics in the form of original research articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, etc.

The Journal of Clinical & Experimental Dermatology is a scientific journal, aims to publish finest quality articles bimonthly and is one of the best open access journals of scholarly publishing. Journal of Clinical & Experimental Dermatology Research follows Editorial Tracking System for quality in peer review process. Editorial Tracking System is an online manuscript submission, review systems used by most of the best open access journals.
