My fiance has been having this reoccurring "skin infection" on his left cheek near the jaw, for about 2 years now. It basically looks like a cluster of whiteheads, very swollen, red, hot and painful. He has seen several dermatologists, however, none have been able to give this problem a name or a cure per se. It only afflicts that area. The most they have been able to do is prescribe antibiotics (Doxycycline or Tetracycline) and topical creams (Benzoyl Peroxide 5%). It goes away with the antibiotics but it comes back once he finishes them shortly after. Sometimes it comes back within a few weeks to a few months.One doctor indicated that it may be related to a staph infection. However, they cant give us a name for what he has, how he "contracted" this, or how to keep it from coming back, etc. He cant take antibiotics forever. Please help !
