Root Admin Guide Posted June 25, 2017 Root Admin Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 A Journal of Family Practice article says, "Using intention-to-treat analysis, permethrin 5% cream was as effective as metronidazole 0.05% gel and significantly superior to placebo at improving erythema (change from a baseline score of 2.60 to 1.34), papules (change from baseline count of 6.04 to 1.73), and pustules (change from baseline count of 2.30 to 0.56)." This same article reports, "Permethrin 5% cream is superior to metronidazole 0.75% gel and placebo in decreasing Demodex folliculorum, and is as effective as metronidazole 0.75% gel in treating erythema and papules." This may be a prescription or a non prescription treatment for rosacea. Ask your doctor. For more information read this post. Permethrin has been used on a pregnant patient. For more information. "Permethrin, sold under the brand name Nix among others, is a medication and insecticide." Wikipedia Permethrin is included in with the Anti-parasitic Prescription Agents used to treat rosacea.
