Ivermectin cream. They are believed to cause rosacea, but are typically harmless if not beneficial.


>Ivermectin cream.

For a moment I thought it was a joke. Such are the times.


Ivermectin is an amazing drug all around. Very safe and useful in so many circumstances. It’s a great shame that it got politicized, first by people who took it unnecessarily because they didn’t trust the establishment, and then by the media and politicians, who badmouthed Ivermectin in order to dunk on the first group. Very sad.


Is there any risk of ivermectin resistance developing in nematodes? That would be catastrophic, right?


Definitely not a joke. I use Ivermectin cream to control Rosacea and it works well. The goal isn’t to eliminate them but to prevent overgrowth which is likely what causes most Rosacea.


This has been used for rosacea for a long time, predating the pandemic. there's a prescription called soolantra
