Suggest Treatment For Severe Painful Rash All Over The Body

For two months straight my face had been breaking out all over and when a rash; all over my face and especially between my eyes and underneath my eyes. When I touch the rash, the bumps are very painful and I have been having problems with my legs cramping in both thighs and pain on the right side of the right leg and the pain would shoot up to my hip area. I have been treated for this in the past with Doxycycline and a gel to put on my face and it seemed to help with the rash. I have been awaiting an appointment with a Rheumatologist since March 26, 2015 and haven t had an appointment yet.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello, please mention ur age also in your posts.
The rash on your face doesnot appear to be related to your leg cramping.
As you mentioned, u noted improvement with Doxycycline and a topical gel, so, i assume it to be either papulopustular rosacea or acne vulgaris.
You need to get urself examined from a dermatologist for confirmation of your diagnosis and further treatment will be accordingly.
For leg cramping, and pain, first make sure that you take adequate minerals in your diet..The nature of the pain described is making me refer you to a orthopedician
Thanks
Take care
