I have had a slight red, smooth, non itchy, rash just above my upper lip for about 2 1/2 months with hardly any change from a whole range of medications my doctors (3) have prescribed. I am desperate becouse I dont know if its something contagious and my last doctor after her second course of prescription has just stopped trying. (I am traveling this summer so I have been in contact buy phone and e-mail - which makes getting after this situation that much harder but I am currently in the midwest and would stop at any doctor if I thought it would make a difference - I really dont have a great deal of hope after all I have been through).
Somewhat specifically, like I have mentioned, I have seen 3 doctors 2 of which have been dermatologists and one doctor who made a suggestion on medhelp but when I had tried that and responded, I didnt hear back. UGH.
I have tried (roughly in order): Neosporin, vitamin E, Hydrogen Peroxide, Lotramin, 2 different prescription steroids of increasing strength, prescription anti-microbial ointment, prescription anti-biotic ointment, 2 different prescription antibiotic pills, Rosacea ointment and lastly an over-the-counter anti-histamine...No Affect. Nothing has done anything other than what SEEMED to be a SLIGHT INNITIAL improvement from the oral anti-biotic but then no
thing after just the innitial first few days.
Someone please help. I will do anything to at least know what is going on. I would like to fix this but at the very least I need to know if its contagious. I really hope someone can do right by society if not by me and help prevent me spreading this stuff around if it is such.
