Suggest Treatment For Pimples On Face, Head, Neck And Shoulders

default
Posted on Fri, 23 Jan 2015
Question: I have pimples on my face, head, neck and shoulders that come out and disappear in a week. I have been to Mayo recently and they can't really pin down what causes this. They have started me onNarrow UVB light treatment for the next 3 months. It is not bacteria follicuitis. I have this problem now for 8 months. It started when I was in St Maarten for 10 weeks. Started after I had several skin bites, like spider bites. Doctors say it not related to my problem. Any thoughts out there?
