- Abstract
This article focuses on a study in which nine patients were given 13-cis-retinoic acid orally in a dose of 0.5 mg/kilo/day for 6 weeks for the treatment of rosacea. The patients comprised four females and five males with an age range of 27-59 years and were selected on a basis of severe long-standing rosacea which had not responded to oral tetracycline. Sebum excretion rates (SER) were performed prior to starting therapy and at 6 and 10 weeks. Serum lipids were assessed prior to therapy and at 6 and 10 weeks. SER levels were all within the normal range prior to therapy and in every case fell to zero at 6 weeks.
