Thirteen patients of both sexes, affected by a severe form of a papular rosacea, were treated with 13-cis retinoic acid (1 mg/kg/day) for two months. One patient interrupted the treatment after 15 days because of severe blepharitis. The size and number of papules were progressively reduced from the 2nd week, reaching complete regression at the 6th week. Three patients complained of mild blepharitis, nine developed dry cheilitis.
