Abstract

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease appearing in the central area of the face. It occurs most often in women, between 30 and 50 years. In children is a rare entity, especially the granulomatous variant. Treatment in this age group is usually a challenge. We present the case of a patient of 11 years of age who presented a severe granulomatous rosacea with ocular involvement with a good response to the combination therapy with oral doxycycline and topical ivermectin.
