This issue of Clinics in Dermatology is dedicated to three skin diseases that attract continuous scientific interest and
represent a considerable part of clinical practice: Acne (sometimes referred to as
acne vulgaris), rosacea (once called acne rosacea), and hidradenitis suppurativa (formerly
called acne inversa). The alternate but similar nomenclature was based on some apparent
shared features, including common clinical lesions (papules, nodules, pustules, cysts,
pseudocomedones); the pilosebaceous unit being involved as the target organ; the involvement
of the face for acne and rosacea; and the fact that hidradenitis may traditionally
form part of the follicular occlusion tetrad together with acne conglobata, dissecting
cellulitis of the scalp, and pilonidal cyst. Over the years, laboratory and clinical
research has pursued refining further distinct pathogenetic, clinical, and therapeutic
characteristics for acne, rosacea, and hidradenitis suppurativa. During this pursuit,
exciting scientific knowledge has emerged and is highlighted in this issue.
