Clinical and instrumental evaluation of papulo-pustular rosacea with topical ivermectin: A 32 weeks duration study

Background: Ivermectin (IVM) 1% cream represents an emerging topical treatment option for papulo-pustular rosacea (PPR) both for its antiinflammatory and antiparasitic effects. Erythema-directed digital photography is a noninvasive technique that is able to provide more precise evaluation of patient ’s erythema compared with simple clinical inspection or standard clinical photography alone and can optimize treatment outcome. It is a useful tool for evaluation of erythema in inflammatory dermatoses including rosacea.
