Acne cosmetica is a type of contact acneiform eruption caused by or aggravated by cosmetics.[1] Signs and symptoms include a dense group of similar sized closed comedones and scattered small bumps, typically over the skin where the cosmetic has been applied.[1] Flare-ups do not generally occur shortly before menstruation and open comedones are not common.[1] There may be associated perioral dermatitis.[1]
