Acne and rosacea are two common skin conditions that can have a significant impact on appearance and quality of life. Acne is a condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It can result in scarring, red marks and pigmentary change.

Rosacea, on the other hand, is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes redness and swelling of the face, particularly around the cheeks, nose, and forehead. It can result in prominent blood vessels and thickening of the skin. While these conditions are distinct, they can sometimes be confused or occur together.
