Abstract
Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin diseases and one of the most frequent diagnoses for patients who visit a dermatologist. The present article describes one of the most severe kinds of acne – acne conglobata, which in a presence of deep inflammation and concomitant general symptoms, is often described as acne fulminans. The authors discuss about case requiring differentiation of acne conglobata and cervicofacial actinomycosis.
