Hi all, I suffered from acne for years and after treatments I been put on accurate, he pictures below are what's bothering me, I got them a few years ago and they seem to go away using nizoral but the doctors tell me it's acne, yet I had acne spots and I haven't had a "spot" since on accurate and I stopping nizoral and after 2 weeks on accurate these are now appearing again I don't wanna use nizoral so I can see if it is acne or not but at the same time I don't wanna walk around with it :( ps these are red because I just washed my face usually they would be like dry etc and doesn't fit what I call acne because there isn't any spot so to speak

If they are dry and red, then it may be eczema which can just pop up at any given time. If it is just general redness then look into Rosacea.

Eczema wouldn't go when using nizoral tho would they? They go if I use it and come back if I stop it but this time accutane held it at bad for 2 weeks rather than 3 days

Sometimes conditions can co exist. You could have a few things going on. Your best bet is to follow up with a derm.

Are you using the acne.org benzoyl peroxide? And do the patches itch slightly?

well if nizoral works on them, it suggests you have come kind of yeast infection?
