Tweet We’ve created an all new page devoted to acne rosacea and rosacea, which is a close relative to acne since it has many of the same underlying issues affecting it, and even is often aggravated by the same things.

Tweet Recently in the news, I was reading how experts think they may have unearthed the reasons for the occurrence and progression of a common skin problem in those that are fair complected (mostly of celtic origin and european origin).  That skin ailment is called rosacea, and we have talked a little about rosacea here on Acnemagazine.com because of it’s close cousin acne rosacea, which is essentially a combination of acne vulgaris and rosacea, where the skin flushes red for no apparent reason (although there are common triggers for it).
