Aczone Approved by FDA

Looks like Aczone Gel (5% Dapsone) has been approved by the FDA. This has been mentioned before as a possible treatment for Rosacea. However, there may need to be tweaks to the formula used for acne vulgaris so that it will be tolerable for sensitive Rosacea skin.

Yahoo! News on Aczone approval.

Also, around the same time (June 30th) the FDA approved a Metrogel (metronidazole) Topical Gel 1% for treatment of Rosacea lesions. Not really exciting news for most Rosaceans, but just an FYI for those who are getting success from the current formulation of Metrogel.
