ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A total of 15 females suffering from Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea and 12 females free from other dermatological lesions was selected. Demodex folliculorum infestation density in both patients and controls was evaluated by noninvasive skin surface biopsies. Five facial sites were selected. The daily topical application of 1/3 diluted camphor oil with glycerol and 500 mg metronidazole orally were given for 15 days. The results were very successful with no clinical side effects
