Pyoderma Faciale

Unlike other forms of acne, pyoderma faciale afflicts only adult women, mostly between the ages of 20 and 40. Pyoderma faciale has been known to strike women who otherwise have never had a

serious acne problem, so the abrupt appearance of large painful nodules, pustules, and sores often comes as a surprise. Fortunately, pyoderma faciale rarely lasts longer than a year, although the affliction has the potential to cause severe scars.
