Suggest Treatment For Skin Rash While On Minocycline

Hello. My dermatologist looked at a skin rash on me today and immediately said it was confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. She prescribed minocycline for the next 2 months. I m concerned about it coming back after the treatment. I m concerned about getting a yeast infection and I m not a fan of prescription drugs and was hoping there is a more natural method. Are you aware of any options?

Hello,
If your dermatologist has confirmed that the diagnosis is confluent and reticulated papillomatosis, then you are on the most appropriate medication that is minocycline.
Minocycline is the medication that gives the most consistent benefits in this condition. Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is a chronic disorder and it needs to be treated by an expert dermatologist having an experience in this condition.
Apart from medications, alcohol swabbing reduces hyperpigmentation and weight reduction helps in controlling the lesions. I do not recommend any natural remedies to my patients for this condition.
You can discus the above information with your dermatologist. Hope the information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a nice day.
