Yellow scabs on forehead and cheeks
Posted , 3 users are following.
Every couple of months my skin starts to itch and a few days later yellow scabs will start to form on my cheeks and forehead. If the scabs come off the skin weeps until it scabs over again. If I wear makeup on top it makes it 100 times worse. I’ve had it on and off for three years now, I’ve been prescribed erythromycin a couple of times, the last time for 3 months which gets rid of it but it always comes back! I’ve also used erythromycin topical solution which helps a lot as it seems to dry it out. The doctors aren’t sure what it is, but the last time I went they thought it was mild acne but I’m not so sure, it’s not spots it looks more like a burn or a if you fall over a scrape your knee. Just wondering if anybody has the same thing and if so how they deal with it/how they got rid of it?

HI this doesn't sound nice at all. You need to ask for a referral to a dermatologist as they are the experts in skin conditions and they should be able to diagnose and treat you far better than general doctors. Good luck with it. x
