The clinical picture and course of lichen planus (LP) on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity have significant differences from its manifestations on the skin. In particular, greater resistance to treatment, which is due to the structural features of the mucous membrane, as well as the specificity of biological and physicochemical processes in the oral cavity. There are 6 clinical forms of LP of the red border of the lips and oral mucosa - typical, hyperkeratotic, exudative-hyperemic, erosive - ulcerative, bullous and atypical.

The aim of the work was to study the features of the pathogenesis of various clinical forms of rosacea (the presence of mite Demodex folliculorum, the determination of VEGF, IL-2 IL-6, IL-8) and, based on the obtained results, to ensure adequate methods of therapy. Mite identification was performed by microscopy. The concentration of cytokines in patients with various clinical forms of rosacea (papulopustular form 15 patients, steroid form - 15, erythematous telangiectic form - 10, Ophthalmo Rosacea - 3, rhinophyma - 3) was determined by enzyme immunoassay using appropriate monoclonal antibodies and expressed in samples.

The purpose of the study was to study the frequency of detection and population density of the mite in rosacea patients depending on the clinical form, the location of the morphological elements on the face and some parameters of the functional state of the skin. We observed 55 patients (38 women and 17 men) aged from 30 to 65 years old with disease duration from 6 months to 10 years. According to clinical forms, 35 had PPR and 20 - ETR (erythematous - telangiectatic rosacea).

In patients with rosacea, the monitoring of blood melatonin in the menopausal period, as one of the criteria for assessing the severity of the disease, seems appropriate and pathogenetically justified. The aim of this study was determination of blood melatonin, VEGF, IL-8 concentration in perimenopausal period of women suffering by rosacea. 43 to 65 years old 15 women with various clinical manifestations of rosacea, and severe climacteric syndrome were under observation.

Recently, the role of vasoactive peptides has been increasingly discussed in the pathogenesis of rosacea. The most attention is paid to the growth factor of the vascular endothelium (VEGF). VEGF affects angiogenesis and survival of immature blood vessels.
