Its one month since i have migrated to usa. I arrived in usa on 14th of february within a week i noticed a lot of dandruff and pimple like red bumps on my upper chest, upper back and forehead. red bumps are itchy on mY chest. Have tried azithral 500 mg for 3 days. It helps reduce the bump appearanxe but as i stop it they again turn up.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the medicine that you took is antibiotic and this wont work here because the symptoms that you have could be due to hypersensitivity reaction and not because of the infection, so need to try antihistamine locally as well as orally and best option would be "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day" and "Diphenhydramine lotion" locally, take care.
