I got rash on almost all of my face.It is severe on my forehead,upper cheeks, here and there on the neck and chin. I never had acne or pimples through out my teenage years or in my adult life. Its been a month since I have it.
Wrinkles/fine lines on the forehead,around the eyes and dark circles also.
Any experiences or opinions.
Thank you, healthy

I had one esp. on forehead. Soaking and dry brushing seem to help too.
It should get better on treatment. Your doc can
prescribe antibiotic cream that helps also.

Please consider that this could be a reaction to the medications you are on.
For example, minocycline can cause you to be sensistive to the sun. If you get too much sun on your face, you could get this type of a reaction, and it can be nasty. It is called photosensitivity reaction.
It can look like little pimples or blisters, but it is really a medication burn.
Also, mino can cause a life-threatening skin reaction called exfoliative dermatitis.
Please google that condition and look at pictures of such a rash to be sure that is not what you have.
Monitor your condition. If it gets worse, you may want to contact the doctor.
When you ask questions like this, it is best to always tell what meds you are on since they could be the cause of the problem.
I looked at one of your other posts to try to help you.
Let us know how it goes.

Pinelady, For dry brushing what type of brush do you use.
TF, Yes, I should have posted the medications or I would have attached this to my previous post. I forgot to do that.Sorry what I had to put you through.
I am on Minocycline since 6 months.When I observed the rash I did not added any new medicine.
I looked into the pictures of exfoliative dermatitis, my rash does not look like that.
Thank you

I found 2 at wally world. One is a shoe brush and the other I got in the bath dept. Long handled so I
can reach my back as my shoulders are still locked up and I cant reach beyond the waist or neck.
I also got some exfoliating scrubs to try. Need more ideas to experiment.

wally world sale isle. My feet were itching last nite so I hit them with the scrub(says below the
chin scrub) and a defoliating
glove I got there too. It worked great. You would not believe what came off my feet. The gloves were
new.
