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!
