Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of topical aminocaproic acid on the
immune system by assessing the levels of antimicrobial peptides in the skin of patients with
rosacea. It is hypothesized that aminocaproic acid applied topically will alter the body's
immune system in patients with rosacea by inhibiting activation of antimicrobial peptides.
