✨ Not every face pimple is acne! 👀
In Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), red bumps on the central face may actually be facial angiofibromas – not acne. These don’t improve with usual acne treatments and are often seen with other signs like:
🌿 Ash-leaf spots (white patches on skin)
🪵 Shagreen patch (thickened leathery skin)
💅 Periungual fibromas (growths around nails)
🧠 TSC can also affect the brain, ❤️ heart, and 🫀 kidneys – so recognizing skin clues early is key to timely diagnosis and care.
