Efficacy and Safety of Combining Doxycycline With Pulsed Dye Laser Versus Topical Brimonidine 0.33% in the Treatment of Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: a Comparative Clinical and Dermoscopic Study
Efficacy and Safety of Combining Doxycycline With Pulsed Dye Laser Versus Topical Brimonidine 0.33% in the Treatment of Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: a Comparative Clinical and Dermoscopic Study
Rosacea is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory cutaneous disorder with highly variable prevalence worldwide.
In our study, we will compare the safety, efficacy, and adverse effects of low-dose oral doxycycline alone versus combined with pulsed dye laser or topical brimonidine in treating erythematotelangiectatic rosacea in an attempt to build a treatment strategy in a disease with complex pathogenesis.
