Is It Really Acne?

Why do I get acne

As if acne weren’t enough! Occasionally, acne vulgaris is accompanied by other bothersome skin disorders that look like acne, feel like acne…but aren’t actually acne. Some of these imposters may look exactly like your typical acne breakout, but will actually require a different treatment. Of course, only your dermatologist can make a diagnosis. But learning a little about these skin disorders may help you come up with questions to ask your doctor.
