Topical treatments for rosacea to be reviewed at this year’s meeting


 

This year’s SDEF Hawaii Dermatology Seminar is set to showcase the latest research and expert tips, advice, and perspective on a range of topics.

In the field of rosacea, “topical ivermectin has proven to be a very effective and safe treatment,” she said in an interview. “On the horizon we will have a new treatment for the erythema of rosacea which seems very well tolerated. Also, topical minocycline foam appears to be very promising in phase II studies.”

Topical treatment of psoriasis also remains a key subject of study, and Dr. Stein Gold will update meeting attendees with her plans for a large, long-term study “that will better define maintenance protocols” for psoriasis. “Maintenance therapy is key in keeping psoriasis under control for localized disease,” she noted.

See our video interview with Dr. Stein Gold from last year’s Hawaii Dermatology Seminar, where she discussed new approaches for the topical treatment of acne that are on the horizon.
