A member asked:
I was diagnosed with rosacea and cystic acne, are they the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Rosacea is a persistent "rose colored" inflammatory process in the surface skin surrounding the nasal root and cheeks. Cystic acne is an aggressive form of acne with deep cysts.They are chronic skin conditions but not the same thing.
