Abstract
Solid persistent facial edema is a rare and poorly understood condition that can be a serious complication of acne vulgaris and rosacea. It manifests as a slow onset of persistent lymphedema in the upper two-thirds of the face and can lead to significant cosmetic disfigurement affecting a patient's self-esteem and mental health. This article presents a case of persistent facial edema in a patient with severe acne and discusses the diagnosis and management of this rare condition.
