Acne is primarily caused by the fluctuation of hormones. Hormones stimulate the oil glands to produce more sebum, which can block pores. Bacteria can then grow within the pores, causing them to become inflamed and break out.
Rosacea is a common, lasting skin condition, a rash that appears on the face. Rosacea is triggered when something causes the blood vessels in the face to expand, which causes redness.
