Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of topical herbal medicine in the patients with rosacea.

Detailed description

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder which affects the cheek, nose, chin, forehead and eyes. It is typically characterized by cutaneous signs such as flushing, erythema, telangiectasia, papules, and pustules in the face. The pathogenic mechanism of rosacea is unknown, and there is no cure for rosacea. The therapeutic approaches include oral medicine, topical medicine and surgical interventions depending on the different subtypes of rosacea. The recent study demonstrates that combination therapy may be more effectively improved the symptoms of rosacea. Dian dao san is a topical herbal compound for reducing the features as flushing, erythema, papules, and pustules for years. The investigators hypothesize that dian dao san can be more beneficial in treating the patients with rosacea and improving the quality of life.
