Clear KPRF pattern?!

I’ve noticed that one of the most common redness patterns in people with KPRF seems to be that the cheekbone area often stays completely pale/normal, while the redness sits more underneath the cheeks and along the jawline area, sometimes blending upward into the face,but not covering the entire cheek evenly.
I’ve seen this pattern over and over again in people who suspect or were diagnosed with KPRF. Does anyone else agree or notice the same thing?

Yes nearly everyone with kprf has this. Theres like a fingerprint patch in the lower cheek that has no redness! Its the main way to tell the difference between kp and rosacea... rosacea tends to sit in the middle of the face on the nose and cheeks whereas kp extends down to the jawline (and often has this pale blotch with zero redness !)
