Epub 2024 May 15.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Scalp rosacea is often misdiagnosed or overlooked, and few reports deal with this peculiar localization. Furthermore, the pharmacological approach to scalp rosacea remains a therapeutic challenge, as no topical and/or systemic drugs have been approved for this specific area so far.CASE PRESENTATION: A series of 5 adult patients affected by inflammatory rosacea and concurrent scalp involvement, confirmed by dermoscopy and histopathology with negative microbiologic swabs, and effectively treated with ivermectin 1% cream once daily for 12 weeks is presented.CONCLUSION: Our experience, although limited, suggests that evaluation of rosacea subjects should also include the scalp and that the treatment with ivermectin 1% cream may be effective on scalp rosacea.PMID:39386311 | PMC:PMC11460844 | DOI:10.1159/000537807{url} = URL to article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
