Recently dianosed after having this for years!
Hi everybody!
I am a 30 yr. old female with this condition. I have always had bumps, itching or discomfort on my chest or arms. Legs occasionally.. face when it gets real bad. Similar to pimples but they aren't. They are deep and itchy, and ANNOYING :) I have suffered a lot of discomfort because of this.
My doctor put me on doxycyline once a day for 3 months. This time especially (summertime) is when it flares up. My arms suffer the most, my mom has the same thing. Doctor told me anti-bacterial soap and to make sure the area is always clean. So I am looking for some tips/remedies. I have had this all my life. At 15 was put on accutane because of it, (didn't work!) and then the derm though I was OCD and tried putting me on Paxil (it's not my head, it's my skin, Doc!) :)
I am busy, recently married with 3 young stepkiddos, so not a TON of time to read up on this but i'd love some tips/ suggestions. I thought it was diet related but maybe not? Correlations I have tried to figure out for years.
Air conditioning recently broke, and it seems like when i sweat most is when it breaks out, which is unfortunate. I will handle it though, just looking for some basic tips from people who have the same thing! Finally diagnosed so at least I know what this is!
Thanks,
Berlin
