[Local treatment of rosacea with imidazole derivatives]

Reports about a good effectiveness of systemic therapy of papular rosacea with metronidazole stimulated us to investigate the value of a local treatment 1) with metronidazole mixed in Ungt. emulsific. aquosum, 2) some other available imidazole-derivative-cremes, 3) a new agent bifonazole. The last substance had a better effectiveness than the others, but the results with all these preparations were well enough to recommend them even in lower concentrations for local treatment of papular rosacea.
