Particularities of rosacea in women. Contemporary methods of diagnosis and treatment

Abstract

Introduction. The main particularities of rosacea in women are the discomfort and uneasiness caused by the mild forms and their consequences (scars, pigmentation of skin), that can give rise to a considerable self-depreciation and, in turn, to a decrease in the quality of life. In such a way, this issue can lead to social inadequacy (or social inhibition) expressed into different degrees of evolution. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the topical treatment of women affected by rosacea using the dermatocosmetic MetroCreme Ivatherm. Materials and methods. We have conducted a prospective, observational and descriptive study of 10 cases of papulopustular rosacea Associated with demodecosis, for ten women hospitalised and treated in IMSP SD si MC in 2015.Results. The therapeutic results obtained after the application in association with standart treatment(tab.Doxiciclini 0,1 twice on day, tab. Metronidazoli 0,25 and Aevit three times on day),local treatment using MetroCreme Ivatherme twice on day, for two weeks, prove the quickly effectiveness of the remedy. After two weeks of daily application, the erythema on the cheekbones, as well as the feelings of itching and burning have disappeared, the eruptions have improved and the pustules receded. The sensations of burning and itching (pruritus) have totally disappeared for five out of ten women, and have reduced by 50% for the other five. All ten patients have described the MetroCreme Ivatherme as being effective, pleasant and easily tolerable. Only three patients have noted the adverse effect of skin dryness, which gently disappears after applying a moisturising cream. Conclusion. Considering the rapid efficacy and the simple application of MetroCreme Ivatherm, it can be prescribed and easily used (or used without any difficulties) for the topical adjuvant treatment of rosacea.
