  • Rosacea Research & Development Institute

    We are rosaceans and this is a grassroots rosacea non profit organization. The entire board of directors are rosacea sufferers. Compare that with the other non profit rosacea organizations, run by NON rosaceans. Compare that with your favorite rosacea social media platform, i.e., Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. Is your rosacea social media group a registered 501 c 3 non profit? 

    We used to allow guests to post here without registering an account.  Guests can no longer post.  However, to access 95% of our rosacea website data and POST will require a donation of a minimum $2/month of access as a subscriber ($1/month for three or more months). Please donate and register to post. To view as a guest is free. Why not show your support and subscribe?

    We have an Invision Community platform forum. A private member forum allows the public to view the subforum categories only,  while only members can view the posts and comment (registering an account with your email is required). What is odd is that this format, while older than the social media platforms, i.e., Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc., requires no more than what the social media platforms require, an email address to register. There is way more rosacea content in the member forum and worth the effort to register.  You want a mobile app?  Mobile apps are in beta version (read below).

    Mobile App?

    There was a beta version mobile app for Android (also there was a beta iOS version available for Apple devices but didn't work out)

    We also have a Tapatalk Private Forum hosted at Tapatalk available (scroll below for more information) but has not proved popular and no one engages with any posts but we have noticed some RRDi members have the Tapatalk app so that is why we tried using Tapatalk to host one of our domains. 

    Tapatalk Enabled (private forum)

    Tapatalk App
    You can download from the App Store or Google Playstore.  The Tapatalk app ONLY works for our private rosaceans forum hosted at Tapatalk. 

    Private Tapatalk Rosaceans Group - rosacea-control.com
    The RRDi rosaceans forum is affiliated with Tapatalk and is a PRIVATE Rosaceans [rosaceans are rosacea sufferers]. Tapatalk forum free for users is a private group. If you are not able to subscribe to our private member forum on the current site you are viewing now, and money is your issue, we do still support a Freemium private rosacea forum through Tapatalk but getting members to post is like pulling teeth. If you are not familiar with the difference between a private member forum and a PUBLIC forum, the posts in a private forum are only read if you join. Here is the official announcement about our Rosaceans Tapatalk Private Forum (requires subscriptionwhich explains an option about Tapatalk Gold Points (not required but available for your consideration). You may access the private Tapatalk which is totally run on Tapatalk servers and has no issues using the Tapatalk app. We do have a post in our guest forum which you learn more about the difference between a Freemium platform vs a Subscription platform

    • Cornea. 2024 Jul 5. doi: 10.1097/ICO.0000000000003627. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes of quantum molecular resonance (QMR) electrotherapy in the management of refractory pediatric ocular rosacea. METHODS: This is a retrospective case series on 3 female pediatric patients (ages 12, 15, 14 years) with ocular rosacea. Two patients presented with corneal stromal neovascularization and punctate epithelial erosions while 1 patient presented with corneal scarring and paracentral stromal thinning. After failing conservative management, the patients were treated with 4 consecutive QMR electrotherapy sessions with the intensity set at 5 corresponding on average to a power of 12 W, with 60 V voltage and 200 mA current. Informed consent was obtained for off-label use. Patients were assessed for changes in vision, foreign body sensation, tearing, photophobia, and redness at each visit to determine symptomatic improvement. Outcome measures include best-corrected visual acuity, use of supplemental therapies (eg topical steroids) for symptom relief, extent of corneal neovascularization via serial slitlamp photography, and corneal scar remodeling via high resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT). RESULTS: Two of the 3 patients experienced improvement in visual acuity after QMR electrotherapy. Corneal neovascularization and scarring regressed significantly in all 3 patients. Two months post-QMR electrotherapy, corneal remodeling was evident on optical coherence tomography in 2 patients. All 3 patients were able to discontinue topical immunosuppressants and remain symptom-free at 1.5 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: QMR electrotherapy is a promising alternative in the treatment of refractory ocular rosacea in childhood and puberty, and it may potentiate corneal remodeling.

    • J Alzheimers Dis. 2024 Jun 28. doi: 10.3233/JAD-240198. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT This manuscript reviews the significant skin manifestations of Lewy body disease, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, and the diagnostic utility of skin biopsy. Besides classic motor and cognitive symptoms, non-motor manifestations, particularly dermatologic disorders, can play a crucial role in disease presentation and diagnosis. This review explores the intricate relationship between the skin and Lewy body disease. Seborrheic dermatitis, autoimmune blistering diseases (bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus), rosacea, and melanoma are scrutinized for their unique associations with Parkinson's disease, revealing potential links through shared pathophysiological mechanisms. Advances in diagnostic techniques allow the identification of promising biomarkers such as α-synuclein in samples obtained by skin punch biopsy. Understanding the dermatologic aspects of Lewy body disease not only contributes to its holistic characterization but also holds implications for innovative diagnostic approaches.

    • Heliyon. 2024 Jun 1;10(11):e32275. doi: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32275. eCollection 2024 Jun 15. ABSTRACT A combination of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and tretinoin is recommended for treating acne; however, concurrent administration can be irritating, and coformulation is prevented by BPO-mediated oxidation of tretinoin. In rosacea, benzoyl peroxide has been shown to be efficacious; however, its use has been limited by poor tolerability. To overcome these limitations, the active ingredients can be encapsulated within silica microcapsules. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved 2 products using this technology, a combination of encapsulated benzoyl peroxide and encapsulated tretinoin product for acne vulgaris and encapsulated benzoyl peroxide to treat inflammatory lesions in rosacea. The active ingredients are released through small channels in the silica shell, gradually releasing the active ingredients to the skin. This study describes the stability and release profiles of encapsulated tretinoin and encapsulated benzoyl peroxide from the silica shell in physiologically relevant conditions and provides differentiation from traditional formulations.
