I have a skin condition which I was told
the first time was pityriasis rosea. The
first time I had it for 6 weeks, went to
the doctor and was prescribed what I think
was prednazone or pregnazone. It was a
blister pack with 6 days of treatment
starting with 6 pills, then 5,4,3,2,1 per
day and that cleared it up at the time, I
was 17. I even have a couple scars where
the color just never righted itself in my
skin.
I got it again a couple years later, and a
dermatologist said, that was the same
thing and I just let it go on it's own
after 6 different failure creams ( i had a
new general doc who kept prescribing me
antifungicals because he wouldn't listen
to me or the dermatologist)
Now, I'm 22 and I think I've had it again
for a few months. It's not as bad as the
pics of other people I see. It probably
isnt even pityriasis rosea. I get a tiny
pimple with smaller bumps around (about an
inch diameter for patches and then there
are random bumps) it and I pop it. A
thick almost solid white (sometimes
completely solid) comes out, often with a
hair attached.
There isn't much itching unless it's the
heading one itself, which often refills
(doesn't take much) I know I should stop
picking (but I mentally can't), its
probably what has spread it all over my
body. I have it on my forehead hair line,
pretty bad.
I don't know if i should go to a doctor
for a different treatment or what it could
be. I'm tired of getting told it's a
fungus (when antifungicals do nothing) or
something that can be treated with steroid
creams (rosea, which help but dont cure)
My doc wouldn't give me prednazone again
because of the hormones (i was on the
birth control pill).
