Pimple like allergy on my face

So around a month of i actually had a skin allergy which appeared out of nowhere on day. It started out with a minor itchy rash on my for arms and eventually spread all over my body EXCEPT my face. My doctor prescribed me steroid meds, antibiotics, and a white tub of cream. The rash spread, was extremely itchy and dried up my skin. It eventually felt almost like leather at one point. After i used the cream the rash finally began to disappear. About a week ago i got a different type of rash on my arms. This time the bottom, more sensitive part of my arms had fungal rashes and the top had small pimple like rashes. ( Oh and before this allergic reaction, i've never had pimples of allergies in my life ) This rash how ever did not itch at all. The doctor js prescribed me fungal cream and the rash is basically gone, but small pimple like rashes formed all over my face and wont disappear. The rash doesnt itch at all but it makes my face feel really hard and dry. The rash is spread all over my face especially around my hairlines and didnt get any better using cream my doctor prescribed me for my face. I've stopped using gel and shampoo js to see if that was the problem, but nothing has made it better. For someone whos never had even pimples before, this is quite frustrating. My allergy doctor isn't actually quite sure what the problem is and insists on continuing to use the cream. But the cream is definitely not helping. So please someone.. HELP!!! :(

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
If you have a history of fungal infection then probably you have lingering infections. It could also be acne. It does not matter that you did not have acne earlier. It could also be dermatomyositis. This is a chronic inflammatory disease of skin and muscles along with patches of raised reddish or scaly rash. If you have had so many rashes in the past, you must find out what you are allergic to by either a RAST test or a kin test.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
