Treatment for Phenotype 2

[Guide]

Persistent Erythema, Phenotype 2, is, perhaps, the most difficult phenotype to treat. Mirvaso and Rhofade are two treatments for phenotype 2. You should read the posts about Mirvaso and Rhofade. There have been reports of rebound with both, but particularly with Mirvaso (less rebound reports with Rhofade).
