About 10 yrs. ago, I had recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces requirering surgery. At the time, I also had lymphadenopathy of unknown cause. During hospitalization I developed an acneform folliculits over chest, back , and face that itches. Dermatologist is puzzled, bx did not help, anti-fungals, antibx, topicals, failed. Did 2 courses of Accutane which helped, but rash came back on face and neck. Itches intensely- and it worse in day, better at night. Dad has Marfan variant. Tiny filled pustules and small bumpy rash. Any one with any clues? Take benadryl at night, but doesn't really help. I am 43. Only other health probs. are osteoarthritis of knees, precancerous colon polyps removed, fibrocystic breast dz. I am 5'8" 130 lbs. HELP
