Hello!
so I've been having extremely itchy "acne". And I says "acne" because I really don't know what it is. I get hive looking bumps on my face and they get extremely itchy. This has been occurring over the last year but more so recently to the point where I hate my fave and I don't want to be seen in public.
I went to a dermatologist and he told me it was acne and he prescribed me doxycycline which helped for a week and now my face is worse. So I stopped taking it yesterday. He also told me I had dermatitis and prescribed a cream which did take my dryness away but not the acne ![]()
I've tried washing my face with zinc soap, using mild moisturizers, wearing only bb cream and nothing is helping. Also, I am allergic to wheat. So I have become gluten free thinking that might help and it hasn't either.
HELP!!!!
Hi. Your acne looks almost exactly like mine only mine covers my whole face except my nose. I also went to the derm this week and she told me I had a bad case of acne. She prescribed me an antibiotic. I've been taking it for three days, my face feels a little better.
As for the itching, my acne itched sooo bad. I thought it was a rash and not acne but she said I was wrong. I'm still experiencing the itchiness, especially when I get hot. I will continue the prescription meds and hope that they work! Good luck!
