Any clue what this is & how to get rid of it? For a year+ I've had these bumps on my torso. I'm thin, no skin folds, never sweaty. Wear loose cotton clothing, rarely wear a bra. The bumps are on ribcage between breasts, & upper stomach. It often stings/itches. I've tried benzoyl perox, BHA, AHA, hydrocortizone, Desonide, tretinoin, Hibiclens, Cerave, Mupirocin, Xolegel, doxycycline, Keflex, Spiro, zinc soap, erythromycin, etc...nothing helps. Any ideas?
Hi, I am a 27 yo female. I have been on Accutane twice (2017- first round, 40mg 1 month, 60mg 2 months, 80mg 3 months. 2020- 40mg 1st month, 6mg 6 months). Both courses cleared my acne. I just finished the second course in July 2021 and recently I have developed these itchy, comedomal spots on my forehead. I have been using Salicylic acid + retinA since August 2021. What could it be? It started with one spot and in a week it spread. I feel very depressed and my Derm is no good.
Hi I have rosacea, oily skin and mild acne. I've had it under control the past year using a salicylic acid lotion and finacea. I struggled previously with these and was on antibiotics for a year. Now I have tiny little bumps forming all over my forehead. They're incredibly itchy. Along with a itchy scalp. I think it's Pityrosporum Folliculitis. What are the treatment options ? I know this disease has a high relapse rate so I'm worried. Has anyone had success treating this without relapse ?
Im currently on Accutane. Just finished my second month on 40mg and Im starting month 3 on 60mg. Early on, I experienced getting many tiny, small bumps on my forehead and I dont know why... See my pictures. What are they and will they ever go away? Ive never had this before and sometimes its itchy and red. Kind of looks like small blackheads, but they never disappear.. Also, I just get them in the centre/middle, not the whole forehead.
I am a 45 yo female and just started taking acutane 8 days ago. I have very itchy eyes. Does this usually resolve after the course of medication? If it commonly becomes a chronic condition I want to stop acutane to minimize the likelihood that this will be something I live with in the future.
I was prescribed Accutane 20mg for 2wks then increased to 40mg for a month and then 60mg. My skin began to get extremely itchy and I see dry red patches mostly below my butt and my legs. Hydrocortisone n lotion only help for 1-2hours before they itch again. Told my derm and she put me back on 40mg. Now (4mths in), the dry patches still itch n still there, and I'm also suffering from vaginal dryness. Should I stop Accutane?? If not, will all of these go away after I'm done with Accutane??
