Overview

Acne is the most common skin condition treated by dermatologists. It is extremely prevalent in teenagers but also affects adults. Many things contribute to the development of acne including oil, bacteria that live on our skin and hormones. All of these factors lead to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, inflammation, cysts, and nodules that can eventually lead to scarring. Acne can be a source of physical discomfort as well social embarrassment at times.Rosacea is a condition that leads to redness, flushing, and pimples along the nose, cheeks, forehead and/or chin. The skin may burn, sting or become very sensitive. Sometimes the redness is the most prominent component, other times acne-like breakouts are more common. Some people develop thickening of the skin with a bumpy texture that can lead to enlargement of the involved areas (called rhinophyma when it involves the nose). The eyes can be affected as well, causing redness, irritation, blurriness, or “floaters.”
