Introduction

Acne, one of the most common skin conditions in the United States, challenges the clinician in multiple ways. Research illuminating the pathophysiology of acne has revealed the centrality of inflammation in the development of acne and identified new potential targets of therapy. It also has identified new and investigational therapies for rosacea, another inflammatory skin disease. This supplement represents the perspectives of myself and three of my colleagues on the pathophysiology of acne and the management of acne and rosacea.
