Rosacea is a chronic cutaneous inflammatory condition that affects mostly the skin of the nose and cheeks, resulting in redness, pimples, swelling, and small and superficial dilated blood vessels. The etiology and pathogenesis of rosacea are not fully understood, though neurovascular dysregulation appears to play a role. Indeed, the thermal appearance of this condition is similar to that of facial parasympathetic vasodilation – a warming of the central face and nose.80 Whether parasympathetic vasodilation conditions of the face are predictive or causative of rosacea and rhinophyma remains to be studied.

Nitroimidazoles are a class of veterinary pharmaceuticals used for treatment and prevention of diseases caused by protozoas and bacterial infections, and also widely added in the feed to promote growth of poultry and fish (Fig. 6). They are also used in human medicine, particularly for oral treatment of infections caused by various protozoan parasites, and for topical dermatological treatments (e.g., metronidazole for rosacea treatment). At the pH values of k•OH measurements all the molecules were neutral (Sánchez-Polo et al., 2008; Rivera-Utrilla et al., 2017).

Dermal diseases cause pathological changes in skin and can be visualized by naked eye for example scaling and hyperkeratosis in psoriasis, blockage of sebaceous glands and inflammation in acne, erythema in rosacea, which requires payload to be delivered at localized site i.e. skin. Drugs for dermal/skin diseases act on skin by different mechanism to treat the malfunctions of these diseases (Table 3). Topical drug delivery approaches are able to produce localized action in skin which is not produced by use of traditional formulations like creams, gel, etc.
