What Is The Remedy For The Hives On The Face Which Sometimes Flare Up And Turn Red?

I ve always had issues with acne but recently (within the past couple months) my skin has been really bumpy and it isn t acne. I went to my doctor and she prescribed me acne medication that made me break out in hives even worse all over my face. I went to my school doctor and they said that the bumps look hive like and they gave me claritin and another allergy medicine that should stop the redness and told me to use simple products when taking care of my skin like dove (to cleanse) and eucerin (to moisturize). I wash my face once in the morning and then at night. The bumps are still there and sometimes flare and turn red. What should I do?

Hi,

You may be having acne conglobeta..a type of bumpy and reddish acne. Avoid sun exposure. Keep skin dry. Avoid soap on face. Do not squeeze the lesions. Apply clindamycine gel. Take minocycline 100 mg cap once a dayforfew months. Cleanse the face with Cetaphil solution. Avoid worries and tension.

Hope this helps.
