Abstract

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis of facial localization. Treatment tactics for patients with rosacea is a complex task, since it depends on the severity and individual characteristics of the patient. Numerous studies determine the relevance of this problem. Observation of 22 patients, 11 of whom received only topical treatment with the erythematotelangiectatic subtype of rosacea treatment in the form of 15% azelaic acid, 0.5 % brimonidine tartrate gel, and 1 % metronidazole cream. In 11 other patients, topical treatment was combined with phototherapy – broadband incoherent pulsed light at intervals of 1 time in 4 weeks, 3 procedures per course. Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy was carried out using the Antera 3D visualization and skin diagnostics device. Also, the dermatological index GSS (Global Severity Score) and the dermatological index of symptom scale (DISS) were used as clinical evaluation methods. The combination of 15 % azelaic acid, 0.5 % brimonidine tartrate gel, with broadband pulse therapy (3 procedures) showed higher efficiency than monotherapy with topical agents. The obtained results, indicating higher efficiency of the combined treatment method, can be explained by the synergistic effect of the combination of the physiotherapeutic factor and external drugs affecting the pathogenetic mechanisms of disease development.
