What is Real-world Evidence for the Treatment of Rosacea with Sulfur or Metronidazole Preparation in Japanese Patients about?

## Introduction: There remains to be lacking real-world evidence for the treatment of rosacea with a topical sulfur preparation (TSP) or topical metronidazole preparation (TMP) among Japanese patients. Therefore, in this study, we examined the effects of TSP and TMP on rosacea in Japanese patients in real-world clinical settings. ## Methods: This retrospective observational analysis reviewed the medical records of 47 Japanese patients who were treated with TSP or TMP for more than 8 weeks in our clinic. Disease severity was evaluated using the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) and the visual analog scale (VAS) for itching, burning sensation, flushing, and hypersensitivity before and 8 weeks after the initiation of the intervention. ## Results: In total, 10 erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR) and 12 papulopustular rosacea (PPR) patients treated with TSP and 12 ETR and 13 PPR patients treated with TMP were analyzed. IGA and VAS scores for itching, burning sensation, flushing, and hypersensitivity were noted to significantly improve in the ETR and PPR patient groups treated with TSP and both groups treated with TMP, except for the VAS score for itching in the TSP-treated ETR gro
