title: Rational management of papulopustular rosacea with concomitant facial seborrheic dermatitis: a case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of papulopustular rosacea with concomitant seborrheic dermatitis and discuss how signs and symptoms were ameliorated using a rational therapeutic approach.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patient case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical practice.
  
  
  METHODS
  One male patient with rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, and actinic keratoses.
  
  
  METHODS
  Change in signs and symptoms over time.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Improved skin care practices and treatment with azelaic acid 15% gel twice daily in combination with low-dosage oral isotretinoin resulted in improvement in symptoms of both rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In patients with multiple skin disorders, use of medications with benefits for more than one of the skin conditions may, in some cases, reduce the overall number of medications needed, thus simplifying treatment.
