Kind of a long story so bare with me.. About 2 1/2 months ago I used rose hip seed oil on my face and it broke me out (or I think it did) I have tiny little discolored bumps all over my forehead then they kind of spread to my cheeks and temples but they are not on my chin. I've been to 3 dermatologist and the one that it was contact dermatitis and gave me steroid cream and antibiotics. He said it would be gone within a week,,,,but it wasn't. Then he said I had adult acne and gave me ediduo...it cleared my skin a lot but then the next week...it started to come back. So then he put me on retin a. That made it worse. (mind you, I was only probably on those things for about a week each.) I then decided to go to a NP and she told me to let me skin heal. So for 2 weeks I have been washing my face with cerave and that's it. It looked like it was getting better but then bam...it came back. (I did go tanning a few times to see if it would help) and I also drank apple cider vinegar for 2 days...I'm not sure if thats what was helping or what. Anyway, I'm 26 years old and all of this started because of the stupid rose hip seed oil!! BOO! I'm going to attach pictures to see if anyone else has been diagnosed with acne when it was pityroseporum folliculitis? Oh, and they itch. They don't itch ALL the time, but they do itch everyday. (if that makes sense)

Thanks for your help!

I've moved this post to the general acne discussion forum.

Check out my thread on te same topic

 

I think it could be pityrosporum it's often misdiagnosed as acne because doctors don't do their job. I was diagnosed with acne when I knew for a fact it ought to be something else because they were itchy

 

Don't know what to recommend for pityrosporum. I've been trying ketoconazole shampoo and propylene glycole but it hasn't cleared at all. But maybe it'll help you
