I've been on antibiotics for acne. the doctor says its acne vulgaris. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common acne: Vulgaris is latin for "common". The doctor has diagnosed you with typical acne... Vulgaris is used to differentiate it from other acne-like rashes such as acne rosacea.
