What is the difference between acne ulgaris and acne rosacea?
A. Acne vulgaris is the more common form of acne and is caused by clogging and inflammation of the skin’s sebaceous and hair follicles. Acne rosacea, on the other hand, tends to affect an older person and is caused by the blood vesseles of the face becoming inflammed and swollen. Skin can become permanently reddened and the nose can become swollen. Acne rosacea, like acne vulgaris, is treatable. Speak to your skin care therapist for recommendations on treatment.
