Hiii I have been suffering with this for about two years, it gets better but never fully clears. The doctor said it was a type of dermatitis and put me on epiduo 0.1 retinol 0.25 BP and while it sometimes helps reduce swelling it mostly makes my skin red and peel. I have tried all different acids and peels and led lights etc but nothing seems to work, change pillow case every 3. Any help would be amazing

Hmm. If it's dermatitis I wonder why he's putting you on acne medications for it.

It might be time for a second opinion. Maybe see another doc and see what they say.

Is it only happening in that one location always? Or do you have breakouts elsewhere on your face?
