[|Human|] Hi, I had severe acne in my early teens, that only lasted about two years (12-13). It was on my face, chest , back, behind and even thighs. Slowly but surely, the acne on my face, chest and back subsided, but never fully on my behind or legs. I was then told what was on my behind and thighs was folliculitis . Now I am in my early 20 s and have broken out on my face again. This time, there are no cystic pimples , but small bumps with no white or black heads ALL over my face. It started on my forehead , with lots of itching, and within a week was all over my face and neck. What happened? And why hasn t the follilculitis gone away yet?!
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Your skin condition is most likely Keratitis Polaris with or without acne. It is a familial skin condition which usually appears at upper thighs and upper arms but may be at back shoulder face and sometimes generalized. You can use the following though treatment is not always required- 1. Capsule- Tetracycline 500 mg (or doxycycline 100 mg / minocycline 100 mg) twice daily for 1-2 months orally.  2. Retinoid cream or gel/ Adapted cream or gel-you could apply twice daily on trunk and extremity and once at night on face for 1-2 months 3. Follow up needed after end of 1-2 months. With regards.
