Is rosacea related to PBC?

Rosacea isn't typically listed as a direct symptom or complication of PBC. However, PBC does cause various skin changes that you might be experiencing.

Common skin symptoms associated with PBC include:
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin)
- Dry skin
- Itching (pruritus), which affects more than half of people with PBC

About 40 percent of people with PBC experience some type of skin symptom. The skin changes in PBC are usually related to bile buildup, liver damage, or the autoimmune nature of the condition.

If you're concerned about your rosacea, it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider. They can help determine if there's any connection to your PBC or if it's a separate condition that needs its own treatment approach.
