ACNE AND ROSACEA
Private Acne & Rosacea Consultation
About acne and rosacea
Acne is a very common skin condition. There can be different types of spots including blackheads (open comedones), whiteheads (closed comedones), red papules, pus-filled spots (pustules) and larger nodules. This affects the face but sometimes also the chest and back. Many people experience some form of acne during their lifetime. This is caused by a combination of factors, including inflammation affecting hair follicles and sebaceous oil glands with hormonal influences. Acne can significantly impact on one’s mental health when the spots are active and from any scarring that results.
Rosacea is a common skin condition, mostly affecting the face. There is persistent redness caused by dilated blood vessels in the skin and in some people papular and pustular spots similar to those seen in acne. In some cases, it causes grittiness, dryness and inflammation of the eyes. Its cause is not fully understood. The redness associated with rosacea can significantly impact on one’s mental health.
