Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 help what can i get for all these dame bumps on my face this is ridiculous 60 or more just hard bumps they are not pus filled or anything just bumps like swelled up things i cant take this rosacea sometimes i am not flushing or blushing i put desowen on them because i am sick of them they wont go away they cleared up and boom in one day they came back i just ate pizza surely that would not cause a bunch of bumps like that. I take septra antibiotic twice a day and use metrogel they would not go away with that so I use the desowen and it helped but now they are back. I would put Clorox on it to get a clearing of them if it would help. the desowen is outdated by 2 years Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 I've had rosacea dating back to Pre-cea at age nine, but acne-wise I've never had particularly bad skin until recently except for a few months or so after a bad reaction to prednisone. However right now I have TONS of tiny little hard red bumps just like what you describe. Probably around 60 or more. I can go from a relatively good complexion to a mess in one night also, usually after eating certain foods (Especially Pizza). This was never a problem for me until I went on oral antibiotic therapy. I'm not sure exactly how, but I am more convinced than ever that oral antibiotic therapy causes this problem (Someone else wrote me yesturday saying they had tons of little red bumps on their forehead that appeared shortly after going on antibiotics.. and I've heard similar stories from several other people too). I dont know exactly how it happens, but my best guess is that the problem is called Pitysprorum Folliculitus caused by a yeast overgrowth (which happens with antibiotics). I could be WAY off on the exact cause, but I'm almost positive oral antibiotics are to blame. (This isnt to say that oral antibiotics dont have their benefits, this is just a side effect that I dont think gets enough press, seeing as how it seems to be happening relatively often based on what I've seen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
