Treatment of rosacea rosacea lesions with ivermectin

摘要

A safe and effective treatment method for inflammatory lesions of rosacea in a subject is described. The method comprises topically applying a topical composition comprising ivermectin and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the affected skin area once daily. It has been demonstrated that once-daily topical treatment with ivermectin is significantly better than twice-daily topical treatment with metronidazole in reducing the number of inflammatory lesions.
