Have you seen a skin specialist or any doctor about your face? If not, please do so, it appears you have a severe infection. If for any reason you can't afford to see a doctor, try checking with your local health department. Their services are usually free or they may a small charge compared to specialists. My heart goes out to you and hope you can soon find something to help you. Good luck!

I would go to a dermatologist. Like the last reply said, the health department can help you, or sometimes, if you find a really nice doctor, he can set you up on a payment plan. And if the doctor gives you a prescription, ask for samples. Do not be ashamed to ask for samples. It will save you a lot of money, and they get them free anyway! Also, I heard about a series of shots that you can get for severe acne. Supposedly, you take them over a peried of seven months or a year, or something like that, and you are cured for life. I haven't looked into that, so it might be rumor, but it is a good one. Good luck, I am so sorry that you have to go through this.

However it started (acne, infection, allergy???) it certainly needs medical treatment & given that you said you sometimes scratch it really hard the chances that it is also or additionally infected are increased greatly.

Good luck.

If it is was real it would be at the outer end of the acne spectrum.


Note the blue background and black rectangular tape shape used to cover the eyes, both classic teaching photography techniques.


Also note the relatively acne free neck, which is inconsistent with a serious acne condition.
