Value of reflectance confocal microscopy for the monitoring of rosacea during treatment with topical ivermectin.

Conclusions: RCM enables anti-inflammatory effect monitoring of topical ivermectin by determining mite presence. Quantifying exact mite number, and inflammatory and vascular characteristics is challenging due to device limitations. In its current form, RCM seems of limited value for noninvasive follow-up of rosacea in clinical practice.
