Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Acne, rosacea and hidradenitis suppurativa are now common chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Clinical manifestations include papules, pustules, nodules, cysts and scars. It is most common in teenagers but can affect people of all ages. These conditions can lead to reduced self-esteem, anxiety and depression in patients, and pain can pose a challenge to an individual’s emotional health and well-being. The disease progresses, persists and is difficult to treat, adding to the burden on patients.

Various therapeutic interventions are available, including topical medications, oral therapies, biological treatments, surgery and laser and light therapy. We welcome papers in the form of original articles or reviews that provide exciting new insights into acne, rosacea and hidradenitis suppurativa, including but not limited to clinical activities related to diagnosis, treatment and management.

Abstract
Childhood rosacea is a lesser known, yet significant, skin condition presenting diagnostic and treatment challenges. Although often underdiagnosed due to unclear diagnostic criteria, it manifests similarly to adult rosacea, with features such as papulopustular, telangiectasia, granulomatous, idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma, and ocular rosacea.

Childhood rosacea is a lesser known, yet significant, skin condition presenting diagnostic and treatment challenges. Although often underdiagnosed due to unclear diagnostic criteria, it manifests similarly to adult rosacea, with features such as papulopustular, telangiectasia, granulomatous, idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma, and ocular rosacea. The complex pathophysiology involves genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. Distinguishing childhood rosacea from conditions like acne, steroid rosacea, sarcoidosis, and lupus vulgaris is crucial but complicated by the lack of established criteria. Treatment strategies, mainly extrapolated from adult management protocols, include topical therapies, systemic medications, and laser treatments, adapted for pediatric patients. Special attention is given to ocular rosacea, often preceding skin manifestations, necessitating multidisciplinary care. The review underscores the urgent need for clear diagnostic guidelines, increased awareness, and tailored pediatric treatment protocols to improve patient outcomes and mitigate the condition’s evolution into adulthood.
