Neurogenic Rosacea and Facial Dysesthesia: Neurovascular–Immune Mechanisms and Translational Therapeutic Perspectives

<jats:p>Background and Objectives: Neurogenic rosacea is a clinically useful, but not yet standardized, sensory-weighted presentation within the rosacea spectrum. This narrative review evaluates its clinical features, differential diagnosis, proposed mechanisms, and reported therapeutic approaches while distinguishing direct human evidence from indirect and experimental findings. Materials and Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched through 30 June 2026 using predefined combinations of terms related to rosacea, facial dysesthesia, neurogenic inflammation, sensory pathways, mast cells, and treatment. English-language clinical and experimental publications were selected by relevance; reference lists were also screened. Evidence was grouped as phenotype-specific human evidence, human evidence from rosacea populations or related conditions, case-based evidence, and animal or cellular evidence. Results: Direct evidence specific to neurogenic rosacea is limited mainly to small observational series and case reports. Human rosacea studies support neurovascular involvement, whereas many TRP-channel, protease, LL-37–MRGPRX2, and mast cell links remain indirect or experimental. No validated diagnostic criteria or phenotype-specific treatment algorithms exist. Conclusions: Neurogenic rosacea is best regarded as a clinically useful but not yet standardized sensory-weighted presentation within the rosacea spectrum, as current evidence does not establish it as an independent phenotype. The clinical features summarized in this review may support recognition of this presentation and its differentiation from relevant mimics, while diagnostic and treatment decisions should remain individualized. Prospective cohorts, validated sensory measures, biomarkers, and controlled phenotype-stratified trials are needed.</jats:p>
