[How do I treat acne and rosacea?].

Abstract

Regarding treatment of acne vulgaris and rosacea, there is not much difference between hospital and practice nor among practicing dermatologists. Most of the assistants performing the important physical-manual treatment have had the same training. After analytical conversation and etiologic as well as diagnostic classification, the patients undergo the following manual treatment: cleansing, astringing, removing of comedones, massage, face pack, and covering with tinted emulsion. At home, acne: cleansing, massage, skin lotion, vitamin A acid, benzoylperoxide, antibacterial therapy; in serious male cases of acne conglobata, Roaccutan. Rosacea: antiseptic (antibiotic) treatment (topically and systemically), metronidazole (Arilin); in serious male cases, Roaccutan.
