Misuse of veterinary wormers in self‐medication of rosacea and scabies

Abstract

Dermatology patients are increasingly well informed about chronic skin conditions such as rosacea. Online forums are a popular way for patients to discuss treatments ranging from prescription drugs to alternative medicines. The introduction of topical ivermectin 1% has recently gained traction in these forums. We report a patient with papulopustular rosacea who had an excellent response to topical ivermectin 1% cream.
