folliculitis?

I was recently diagnosed with rosacea, was prescribed metro cream and antibiotic doxycyclin. After 1 week of use i noticed my face was muchmore red and scaly dry worse than before and developed red itchy rash on neck and chest went back to derm took me off metro cream said i have folliculitis and prescribed me clindamycin. Aftter my research online i noticed antifungal creams are for folliculitis not acne medication was i given the wrong medication?

Neem soap will probably help you more than anything else.  

Folliculitis is caused by a bacterial infection usually.  Neem soap controls bacteria, fungus and viruses. You can order it on line.
