Acneiform eruptions are a group of dermatoses including acne vulgaris, rosacea, folliculitis, and perioral dermatitis.[2] Restated, acneiform eruptions are follicular eruptions characterized by papules and pustules resembling acne.[3] The hybrid term acneiform, literally, refers to an appearance similar to acne.[4]
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.[5] Other sources classified acne vulgaris under acneiform eruption.[6] MeSH explicitly excludes perioral dermatitis from the category of "acneiform eruptions",[7] though it does group acneiform eruptions and perioral dermatitis together under "facial dermatoses".
