Acne & Rosacea
Acne
Acne is a skin condition that varies in severity and subtypes. It occurs when oil clogs the pores of the face, neck, chest, back or upper arms, and is complicated by bacteria, hormones, and other inflammatory conditions. The condition can be caused by heredity, stress and other factors. Acne is common in teenagers, but can happen at any age. It is also very treatable.
Rosacea
Rosacea is most often seen in patients over 30. It may begin as a tendency to blush or flush easily. It can progress to rash-like areas of pimples and visible blood vessels on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin.
