Suggest Treatment For Breakouts Of White Pustules On The Face While Taking Lansoprazole

Posted on Mon, 6 Nov 2017

Question: I’m a 53 year old male and I’ve just started getting breakouts on my face after sun exposure. They appear as white pustules in certain areas such as forehead and under the eye on the upper cheeks. The symptoms usually disappear in a couple of days. I’ve never had a sun allergy or any allergy that I’m aware of thus far. I take otc lansoprasole and 80 mg simvastatin, both of which I’ve taken for several years. Any ideas?
