“…It is characterized by furuncles that initially begin as aching inflammatory nodules and evolve into necrotic lesions in a matter of days [60,61]. Young adult males, diabetics, and immunocompromised patients are more likely to experience furuncles [62]. The management of bacterial folliculitis should target the most likely causative bacteria or the bacteria detected by culture [61].…”

Acne-like Eruptions: Disease Features and Differential Diagnosis

The term “acne-like eruptions” encompasses a variety of skin conditions resembling acne vulgaris. While both acne-like dermatoses and true acne are frequently observed in clinical settings, differentiating between the two might be challenging. Similar to acne, the lesions of acne-like eruptions may exhibit papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. However, contrary to acne, comedones are uncommon but may still be observed in certain types of acne-like eruptions. Moreover, acne-like eruptions can be differentiated from acne based on their sudden onset, the propensity to occur across all age groups, the monomorphic appearance of lesions, and the distributions extending outside the seborrheic regions. The development of acne-like eruptions cannot be attributed to a single underlying mechanism; nevertheless, various factors such as patient age, infections, occupation, habits, cosmetics, and medications may be involved. The observed lesions may not respond to standard acne therapy, necessitating that treatment strategies are tailored in accordance with the identified causative agents. The following review aims to outline distinct entities of acne-like eruptions and present features that set them apart from true acne. Acne-like eruptions in the adult population, infectious diseases resembling acne, and acne-like eruptions resulting from exposure to chemical and physical agents are addressed in this paper. An understanding of the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and epidemiology of this group of dermatoses is pivotal for a precise diagnosis and provision of appropriate care.

“…Наиболее частой причиной в развитии фолликулитов является Staphylococcus aureus, однако и другие микроорганизмы могут быть ответственны за их развитие (E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Malassezia furfur). Грамнегативные фолликулиты могут осложнить течение вульгарных угрей у пациентов, длительно и нерационально применяющих антибиотики, чаще тетрациклинового ряда, что проявляется внезапным ухудшением клинической картины заболевания [3,7]. Невысокая заболеваемость грамотрицательными фолликулитами может быть обусловлена недостаточным учетом, связанным с возможной ошибочной диагностикой, расценивающей заболевание как обострение акне.…”

Термин «акнеформные высыпания» включает ряд кожных заболеваний, напоминающих вульгарные акне. В клинических условиях часто встречаются как акнеформные дерматозы, так и истинные акне, поэтому их дифференциальная диагностика может быть затруднена. Как и при акне, при акнеформных высыпаниях могут наблюдаться папулы, пустулы, узлы и кисты. Однако в отличие от угрей при акнеформных дерматозах комедоны встречаются редко. Кроме того, акнеформные высыпания отличаются от вульгарных акне внезапностью возникновения, регистрацией во всех возрастных группах, мономорфностью поражений и распространением за пределы себорейных зон. Данные высыпания могут не реагировать на стандартную терапию акне. The term «acne-like eruptions» encompasses a variety of skin conditions resembling acne vulgaris.
