#13. Patient has sunburns, unevenness in skin tones, tattoos, scars, excessive hair (e.g., beard, moustache), freckles, birthmarks, moles, oedematous lesions or other skin damage or abnormality that would result in the inability to perform study assessments.

#14. Patient has an active or potentially recurring skin conditions(s) other than rosacea that may interfere with the rosacea assessment of or require topical or systemic treatment that may affect treatment assessments.

#15. Patient has used systemic or other immunosuppressive medications within 4 weeks of the Baseline Visit (inhaled corticosteroid less than or equal to 1000 µg daily dose is acceptable).

#16. Patient has used phototherapy 14 days prior to Baseline or has had excessive sun exposure with intent to sunbathe or tan or use artificial tanning agents.
