I use to have perfect skin, but for the past 8 years I've suffered from severe bad acne/skin. It's not just my face, it's my arms, chest, and legs too. I am so self contentious of this problem I wear long sleeves year round. I wish I could just wear a nice short sleeved shirt. People ask why but I dont tell everyone, it's embarrassing.
I've been to the dermatologist. I've been on acutain (didn't work, I got diabetic sensations from it), I've been on tetracyclene, monocycline, and doxiecycline..nothing works... does anybody else have any suggestions? The acne not only looks bad when it's there, but scars later. I can't remember the lat time I wore a swim suit in public, or went swimming for that mater. I can't remember wearing a short sleeved shirt in public, or having my skin semi normal to the point I could be confident enough to wear a short sleaved shirt. Help please

I've had allergy tests but it was mostly for other reasons. I'm extreamly allergic to cats and I'm sick of being invited to friends houses and I can't stay... that and I've gone to 2 different dermatologists...

I've had eczema outbreaks over the years. The best thing I have come across is betamethasone, it's a cortisone ointment, and it has worked great for me.

seems such as you have scarlet fever. Scarlet fever is what happens once you have strep that is going untreated for too long. no rely if it quite is scarlet fever opportunities are high this could take place throughout your physique, little bumps that itch. properly in case you went to the physician and have been given dealt with for the strep then that drugs will make it bypass away in a week or so.

Have you tried to see a different dermatologist? A second or even a 3rd opinion helps sometimes. Good luck

Eczema can be heartbreaking for anyone, especially a girl. Why haven't you been seeing an allergist? they should be giving you shots for this, if it's this bad.
Ask you allergist what's the newest in shots, once a month, for this disease. This is what my daughter gets.

Have you tried Elidel? It is very effective.
