Dermatology

Acne, Eczema, and Rosacea

All three mentioned above are common skin conditions that can affect everyone. However, there are differences among them and a good compounding pharmacy can help provide the right solutions.

Acne is usually caused by dead skin that plugs follicles, causing infection and inflammation in patients. Blackheads and whiteheads are also commonly developed with acne, making it possible to develop papules or pustules. Nodules and cysts are also very common.

• Eczema, known as atopic dermatitis, has known symptoms of itchy skin. Usually this is not noticeable on the surface of the skin, unless the itchiness causes redness, flaking, cracking, or the secretion of fluids. This may be caused by allergies and can be treated by a good pharmacy.
• Rosacea is an inflammatory condition of the skin that produces redness or a flushing effect. It can be seen on the face, but sometimes flushes out to the ears, back, and chest areas of the body. Though the symptoms of rosacea may look like acne on the onset, it is a different condition that requires different treatments.
