Facial erythema, a prominent characteristic of rosacea, causes concern to both the patient and doctor. In clinical practice, commonly used erythema severity subjective assessment tools lack objectivity and are less comprehensive. Even with images taken by the VISIA® system, diffused erythema is difficult to segment and evaluate fully due to the automatic threshold segmentation method. This study aimed to explore a more objective and scientific erythema quantification tool with the aid of the ImageJ software analysis of the red area images taken by the VISIA® system.
