New approaches to the treatment of rosacea on the basis pathogenesis factors and clinical forms

Abstract

Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of the rosacea pathogenesis and treatment are still of great importance. The review encompasses the modern knowledge of rosacea classification, characterization of the severity of the course of the subtypes, and pathogenesis features. Recent methods of rosacea treatment are presented, including the use of botulinum neuroprotein for the correction of the erythematous-telangiectatic subtype of the dermatosis.
 The relevance of this problem is due to the chronic course of the disease and the peculiarity of the localization of rosacea manifestations that leads to a traumatic effect and often causes social exclusion of patients.
 The rise of the rosacea incidences, along with other reasons like characteristics of the course of dermatosis, accompanied by frequent long-term relapses, is due to the resistance to generally accepted methods of drug therapy, often resulting in shortened clinical remission. All the factors lead to decreasing of patients life quality that require the search for effective therapy approaches. Among modern rosacea therapy, the application of botulinum neuroprotein is widely used; however, the clinical studies confirming the effectiveness of this technique are not presented enough.
