maybe give more info...what tx are you on??..drink lots of water
Perhaps see your doctor again? Stay out of the sun. Try to keep your skin cool and moisturized. An antihistamine may help.

Whoa I doubt I would wait until the middle of July if whatever skin condition you have is spreading at that pace. I would see a Dermatologist. Believe me, I never used to be so quick to make such a suggestion until I let a skin condition go one time. It ended up getting worse and was difficult to treat. That is why if there is ever doubt I encourage people to see a Dermatologist. Maybe your doctor could refer you to one.
Thank you for your response. I am on triple therapy. Spoke w/doc and she just said to watch out for blisters and that to not worry otherwise. Use cool water to wash face daily. She just prescribed a mild anti-depressant too, although since I believe I am wonder woman, I did not want to do that. Oh well, I just began my 5th week of Pegasys, Incivic, and Ribofarin. Will find out my new viral load after the 4th of July. Crossing fingers that changes are good. I want to reach out to others who responded as well...I am new to this type of chat thing, so don't want to discredit anyone who is sharing. Thank you much.
Thank you, I left a post for all who answered. Have a great weekend.

My husband had some small blisters with Incivek, but they were on his back, not on his face. He used Eucerin body wash, Eucerin cream, a prescription cream for itching/rash, and we put tea tree oil on the blisters.

Thank you sooo much. I have been driving myself crazy with this. I just exfoliate every night with a good brand I already had..(Mary Kay) and use the night facial moisturizer. seems to keep it at bay better. I totally believe it is the toxins....Always had good natural skin before the tx. Thanx again for the input.
Thans for your input. I find Eucerin is great for all over too. My doc said blisters is not a good thing and to let her know right away. No blisters yet to report.
Yeah, I have had that, on the chin, and sides of the nose. I had
heard that Interferon may cause skin to become more greasy, so I thought it was just clogged pores, etc.
I just washed it every night, with a mild soap, and use a moisturizer sometimes. I dont pick it, because our white blood cells are low right now, and our finger-tips hold germs, so I didnt want to stir up an infection.
I thought maybe it may have been an allergic reaction, because sometimes it makes my nose itch, and I sneeze...but who knows?
thanks, I agree....I am also just learning about this forum thing. I see we are not far off of age. I am 54, and still believing in the fountain of youth, so I keep my handsome h'band very close. lol.
good luck with your treatment,
