Abstract

Acne vulgaris (AV) and rosacea are among the most common skin disorders treated by dermatologists. While both conditions can affect individuals of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, variations in clinical presentation and approaches to treatment exist. This chapter will review the epidemiology, clinical features, and management of AV and rosacea in darkly pigmented patient populations.
