Acne and Acne Rosacea: Two Different Things

If you are about to try some natural acne cures, you must first be sure that the condition is acne.   People sometimes confused acne with another condition, erroneously called acne rosacea.

Acne is caused by dead skin, oil and bacteria that plugs the pores.  It is most prevalent among teenagers but can affect adults also.


Acne rosacea is a relatively common skin condition and is most prominent among fair skinned people. Although this condition is not clearly understood, it occurs because the small capillaries near the skin's surface expand, allowing an increase of blood.  The predominant symptom is redness, but this may be accompanied by pimples and blotches.
