Hi. I am a 45 yr old female who has had a face rash around my mouth for over 2-3 weeks. The Dermatoligist gave me Minocycline 100mg twice daily and eventually Elidel cream. I was told to take the antibiotic either untill it heals or 3 months. It looked really good on Sunday so I only took one of those pills. I stopped using the Elidel on Sunday also. She thought I have perioral dermatis. On monday i spiked a fever of 102 and heart rate was running like 115 when all I was doing was lying on couch watching Food Network. My husband took me to ER since I am a heart patient(VSD repair at age 4). They gave my 2 Tylnol equaling 650mg and a motrin 400mg. Gave me fluids, tested blood, urine and xray. Still waiting on a blood bacteria test. Rest of the tests came back Negative. Stayed home yesterday. Had a fever 101. Had to take child to school today. came back have a fever 100.4 Took Motrin. Restarted the Minocycline last night. face rash is getting worse again- itching, burning. Dermatologist said that she wouldn t skin test/scrape it for 2 weeks. This can be done next week. I have had lightheadeness / head feeling heavey since last night, had a couple of what the hell I do that moments last night. Been drinking lots of water and been eating (craving garlic).
