Starting about 2 weeks ago my skin has been breaking out like mad, and not just on my face. My upper arms and chest have a lot of those little tiny bright red dots (maybe cherry angiomas?). I am getting a million of those little spider vein things all over too - face, neck, arms, legs. The break outs on my face are mostly on my chin and on either side of my nose but also my forehead sometimes. Pimples that aren't there one minute, if I look a half hour later there they are. UGH!!!
I've been treating the Lyme with doxy. I also take iron, vitamin D, biotin, magnesium for my back pain (which it is definitely helping btw!), LDN, and tart cherry juice. Interestingly, about 3 weeks ago I was put on Armour thyroid (switched from Synthroid), and we are still tweaking the dose on that (doc still thinks I'm hypo). 4-5 times a week I also get a b12 shot.
I am wondering if these breakouts might be detoxing or if it could be yeast. I am also wondering if anyone has used anti-yeast meds or supplements to help get their skin back to normal. Any advice is appreciated!

parasite treatment necessary read old posts and also try slowly coconut oil on the skin
LDN is causing this as well, so maybe take less for a while, your system is stronger killing parasites off
