Cynth:
I'm stumped, as apparently is your dermatologist. I don't think I've ever seen a rash which has 5 white dots in a circle.
When you say that the rash is "spreading amoung a group of flight attendants," do you mean that they have the same thing--white dots in a circle? That would truly be an amazing coinicidence, since your condition can hardly be bacterial. If it were bacterial, it would spread

First progesterone mc5
First-progesterone vgs 200
First-progesterone vgs 400 on you--outside the circle to the rest of your face, or body.
One possibility is that this is a form of eczema, because Cutivate (a steroid) masks it. But white dots in a circle is hardly typical for that condition.
The white dots I most often see on the face are milia, or cysts. They can be treated by being extracted with a sharp instrument, or else cauterized. Perhaps you should ask your doctor about these modes of treatment.
Best.

Rash does spread but only in additional circles not all the same size. If bump is broken, clear fluid inside. Today I have it in my ear,between eyebrows,side of nose. Have been in contact with CDC, they are stumped as well.
Miami health Dept. has no info., however one passenger on 3/23 told us she is back in MIA cause her young boy has a strange circle bump rash on skin and they are going to the DR.
What next?
