Tofacitinib for the Treatment of Steroid-Induced Rosacea.

PURPOSE: Conventional treatment suffers from a dilemma of poor efficacy. The clinical use of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in the treatment of steroid-induced rosacea has rarely been explored.

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

We present a case of steroid-induced rosacea successfully treated with JAK inhibitor tofacitinib, with no adverse effects.

RESULTS

This case report of successful treatment shows a good clinical efficacy of JAK inhibitors tofacitinib in the treatment of SIR.

CONCLUSION

JAK inhibitor tofacitinib may be a promising agent for the treatment with steroid-induced rosacea, especially for patients who have failed to conventional therapy.
