Overview
Acneiform eruption refers to a group of dermatoses including acne vulgaris, rosacea, folliculitis, and perioral dermatitis.[1]
Restated, acneiform eruptions are follicular eruptions characterized by papules and pustules resembling acne.[2]
The term "acneiform", literally, refers to an appearance similar to acne.[3]
The terminology used in this field can be complex, and occasionally contradictory. Some sources consider acne vulgaris part of the differential diagnosis for an acneiform eruption.[4] Other sources classified acne vulgaris under acneiform eruption.[5] MeSH explicitly excludes perioral dermatitis from the category of "acneiform eruptions",[6] though it does group acneiform eruptions and perioral dermatitis together under "facial dermatoses".
