What other conditions can imitate acne

A number of skin conditions have commonly been mistaken for acne. The device is not intended for people with other skin conditions known to resemble acne.

Pseudofolliculitis (PFB) This is sometimes called “razor bumps”. When cut close to the skin, curly neck hairs bend under the skin and produce pimples.

Rosacea This condition is characterized by pimples along with redness, flushing and superficial blood vessels, however, there are no blackheads or whiteheads in rosacea.

Folliculitis Pimples can occur on other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks or legs. These do not represent acne but, rather, inflamed follicles.

If unsure, please consult your healthcare provider.
