About this document
Tacrolimus-Induced Rosaceiform Dermatitis by IRA is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Three patients developed rosacea-like dermatitis while using tacrolimus ointment for facial dermatitis. Skin biopsies showed telangiectasia, noncaseating granulomatous tissue in the dermis. Continuous use of topical immunomodulators like tacrolimus can cause rosaceiform dermatitis, though many cases have not been reported. Tacrolimus inhibits T-cells and cytokines but can potentially cause rosacea-like symptoms from long-term use.
