Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that in this edit to Rosacea, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 04:45, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Reply: Hi, I'm new to this.

I was unable to leave a comment explaining why I removed the photo from the Rosacea page.

The photo is of the condition known as rhinophyma, which is a reasonably rare and uncommon side effect of rosacea. However, rosacea is not the only cause of rosacea. Further, the photo does not demonstrate any of the most common symptoms of rosacea, notably red inflamed skin. The character in the photo does not have any of the most common symptoms of rosacea, nor does he have red skin.

It's a very poorly chosen photo for a Wiki page which likely has a lot of traffic, seeing as how common of a skin condition it is. Rhinophyma is not something that should be automatically associated with rosacea. For people trying to learn about the condition, it's a very poor choice and misleading choice of main picture

The photo has been up for a long time, and I find it completely inappropriate. It has very very little relevancy to the topic at hand, and does no justice in illustrating what rosacea is.

In the discussion/talk page for Rosacea, many people have called for a change of image. I can't provide a photo that is reliably permissible at the moment, but the existing photo very much ought to be removed. I ask that you please revert the changes I made.

That image was added by who is our "resident" doctor. Doc James is an admin and can be relied on for good advice on medicine related articles. He is rather busy, so I try to minimize disturbing him.
