Acne rosacea It is a recurrent, progressive inflammatory disease. In the treatment of rosacea, great importance is attached to local therapy, which requires it to have a fast anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic effect, improve erythema and dilated blood vessels without causing skin irritation and developing bacterial resistance. It will also reduce the risk of developing a pustular form of rosacea and, thus, the need for oral and local antibiotic therapy. In our study effective use and superiority of 1% ivermectin cream, which is in practice mainly used for papular-pustular subtypes of rosacea, compared to 1% metronidazole cream was established for early subclinical forms of rosacea.
