I have these on my forehead, sides of face, and chin. They are not really acne, look more like eczema but don't itch. They have worsened with treatment. I thought maybe fungus related and rubbed some GSE on them tonight. we'll see if that helps. Anyone know what these might be and how to get rid?

I am having a mild problem with Molluscum contagiosum, which can usually look a lot like acne. It is caused by a contagious virus that is particularlly a problem in immunocomprimised individuals.
My experience with this is very little itching or pain, just a lot of pink/red bumps that spread rather easily. Have not seen a doctor about it, but I do need to eventually get around to seeing a dermatologist about it.
Some people here are also having yeast problems on their skin due to high levels of antibiotics.
Edit: Molluscum contagiosum would not explain your problem, as is not as rough and does not really resemble eczema at all.
I do hope someone else with this problem can relate and help you.

I don't know what is causing it, but I have the same thing. Mine got much worse when I started using glutathione. I kind of figured that it is the lyme crud detoxing through my skin. It has been improving lately as I have been improving. I haven't changed anything else. I am hoping it will go away when I am better!

Yes, it's probably either yeast or sluggish liver/detox is screwed up.
