Red Lumps on face?

[blunts110]

PLease help!

I have been getting large swollen lumps come up on my face for about 2 years now. They take around 24-48 hr to full come up they take about 1-2 weeks to go down leaving a small hard lump under the skin for many more weeks. The red skin which developes on the lump sheds off as dead skin. I have been perscribed endless antibiotics and am currently taking accutane for 16weeks 40mg a day, but nothing seems to be helping. I am wonder what the other options may be? Could it be an allergy or viral?

Yes have seen the doctor many time.. They just keep prescribing anti biotics and also saw a dermotologist who put me on 40mg accutane a day. neither help.

They only appear on jaw line, chin and lower area of the cheek. They appear over 24-48 hours and then go red without forming a head like a boil would. 48 hours onwards they slowly go down and the red skin flakes off once dead. After about a 7-10 days it just remains as a hard lump under the skin with no redness and this lasts for a couple further weeks.

I am really fed up of them now and the doctor and dermotoligist seem to be no help.

Hi,

What symptoms are you having? You would need to describe the lesions to us in detail so that we may be able to help you. Have you consulted a skin specialist? Are you on any medications currently?

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions. You would need to consult your doctor for a confirmed diagnosis after a clinical examination.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information.

Post us about what your doctor advises.

Regards.
