BACKGROUND Rosacea is a common, incurable skin barrier disorder characterized by relapses and remissions. PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of Farmaka Rosacea Cream (FRC), a novel topical formulation for rosacea. METHODS This single-center, open-label pilot study comprised a single-dose substudy in 20 healthy subjects and a long-term, repeat-dose substudy in 22 subjects with rosacea. The 2-h...

INTRODUCTION Rosacea is a common inflammatory disorder, characterized by a spectrum of facial manifestations. The clinical similarity to other dermatoses, like lupus erythematosus, might lead to misdiagnosis, particularly in patients with elevated antinuclear antibody titers. AIM To assess the frequency, titer and specificity of antinuclear antibodies in rosacea patients and correlate these f...

BACKGROUND Rosacea and melasma are two common skin conditions in dermatology. Both conditions have a predilection for the centrofacial region where the sebaceous gland density is the highest. However it is not known if sebaceous function has an association with these conditions. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the relationship between facial glabellar wrinkle severity and facial sebum ...

Refining diagnostic criteria has identified key characteristics differentiating rosacea, a chronic skin disorder, from other common cutaneous inflammatory conditions. The current classification system developed by the National Rosacea Society Expert Committee consists of erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular subtypes. Each subtype stands as a unique entity among a spec...

Objective: Acne rosacea is a difficult to treat disease and current treatments remain unsatisfactory.

Rosacea is a widespread disease worldwide, affecting 5.5% of the human population and accompanied by significant deterioration in patient's quality life. Currently, there are two classifications rosacea, first which based on subtype approach (erythematous-telangiectatic, papulo-pustular, phimatous ophthalmological subtypes), or an individual analysis presented phenotype rosacea. New data pathop...

BACKGROUND Parallel-polarized light (PPL) photography evaluates skin characteristics by analyzing light reflections from the skin surface. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the significance of quantitative analysis of PPL images in rosacea patients, and to provide a new objective evaluation method for use in clinical research and practice. METHODS A total of 49 rosacea patien...

Rosacea is a common, often overlooked, chronic facial dermatosis characterized by intermittent periods of exacerbation and remission. Clinical subtypes and grading of the disease have been defined in the literature. On the basis of a genetic predisposition, there are several intrinsic and extrinsic factors possibly correlating with the phenotypic expression of the disease. Although rosacea cann...
