I have already seen a dermatologist about this problem but he has really been unable to help me. I get these bumps on my face practically every day and it is really getting old. Please take a look at these pictures so you can see what I mean -

My doctor first said they are hives and put me on 180mg of Allegra daily. I thought it was helping at first but I am still getting at least one or two new bumps every day, mostly around my eyes but they have appeared on the rest of my face and neck from time to time, and now I am also on 20mg of doxepin at night which has done nothing. I am not sure if these are hives because they only itch a little bit when they first appear, and I've heard that hives itch like crazy. They also do not go away as quickly as hives are supposed to, it usually takes 2-3 days for them to completely go away. Typically they are huge at first and then gradually get smaller, sometimes they look similar to closed comedones the second day but they are gone by the third, sometimes they just look like red blotches the second and third days. Last time I saw my derm he tried to say they were pimples but they definitely are not as they go away so quickly and leave no trace (if only acne sufferers were so lucky, myself included). I thought it might be another medication I am on, spironolactone, but I stopped taking it for 2 days and still got bumps both days and I take it around the same time every day but the bumps appear randomly. I am sick of taking all kinds of medication and not seeing any results, could it be something other than hives and what can I do about it?
