Abstract

The combination of sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur is unique in the rosacea armamentarium because of its dual use as topical therapy and therapeutic cleanser. Several formulations of sulfacetamide 10% and sulfur 5% are now available as topical lotions and cleansers. The sulfacetamide/sulfur cleansers serve as adjunctive therapy by providing additive effects to Other topical and oral therapies for rosacea with favorable tolerability and cosmetic appeal.
