Two Types Of Aспе ...And How To Treat Them!

Acne is acne, right? Not quite! Acne vulgaris and acne rosacea might sound the same, yet they are two very different conditions.
Two Types Of Aспе ...And How To Treat Them!

The good news for anyone with these potentially distressing and confidence-hitting skin issues is that there are solutions. However, getting the right diagnosis is important for the successful management of these conditions, which may even co-exist in the same patient.

Acne vulgaris is a common condition involving blockage or inflammation of the pilosebaceous units (the collective name for the hair follicle, hair shaft, and sebaceous gland), which can lead to a mix of lesions such as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, and even cysts on the skin. Acne rosacea, on the other hand, is a condition where the skin is very sensitive and reactive, and is often associated with an underlying persistent redness over certain areas of the face.

We asked Singapore-based dermatologist DR ANGELINE YONG to explain the different treatments available for both.
