Can roaccutane be effective for rosacea? is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not commonly: There are case reports of this being effective, but there are other more proven treatments that I would recommend ahead of isotretinoin (which comes with side effects). Laser is well established, Mirvaso is new and effective, and ivermectin is experimental but promising.
