Generally, areas such as the chin, the forehead and the lower part of the nose commonly display acne rosacea. The name acne rosacea might actually not be the most proper name for the specific skin disease because the name is merely rosacea and the reference to acne is in fact because of the similarity between acne and rosacea.
