Comparing Metronidazole and Azelaic Acid for Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea, a common inflammatory skin disorder, is characterized by facial erythema, visible blood vessels, papules, and pustules. This study compares the efficacy and safety of once-daily metronidazole 1% gel with twice-daily azelaic acid 15% gel in treating moderate rosacea. The research, conducted on a group of 160 patients, found that both treatments resulted in similar reductions in inflammatory lesion counts and high success rates in global severity and erythema. The study concludes that once-daily metronidazole 1% gel and twice-daily azelaic acid 15% gel are comparable in efficacy for treating moderate rosacea.
