Rosacea Glossaries/Dictionaries

Angiogenesis

Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new blood vessels (capillaries).

Connective Tissue

Connective tissue is that which connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs, typically having relatively few cells embedded in an amorphous matrix, often with collagen or other fibers, and including cartilaginous, fatty, and elastic tissues.

Histamine

Histamine is a compound that is released by cells in response to injury and in allergic and inflammatory reactions, causing contraction of smooth muscle and dilation of capillaries.

Histamine is a heterocyclic amine.

Its chemical formula is: C 5 H 9 N.

Lymphatic Circulatory System

The lymphatic circulatory system consists of vessels that carry a clear liquid that bathes the tissues of the body and may fight infection.

Mast Cells

Mast cells are filled with basophil granules, found in numbers in connective tissue and releasing histamine and other substances during inflammatory and allergic reactions.

Pathogenesis of Rosacea

Rosacea pathogenesis is the manner in which rosacea develops, from early rosacea symptoms to advanced rosacea symptoms.

Photoaging

Photoaging refers to skin aging due to daylight.

We recommend Melbourne Dermatology's overview of photoaging and photoprotection for further information, although not all the sunscreens described.

According to the free radical theory of aging, skin cancer is thought to represent severe photoaging.
