nflammation is a key
component of both
acne and rosacea. The
physical discomfort of these
chronic skin diseases is often
compounded by psychological

and anxiety. Patients might
feel isolated or ugly. But

might not be external at all—
rather, there is evidence that
inflammation can put people
into a bad state of mind.
