I have those itchy red bumps on my face about four years ago, I tried everything to get rid of them so I could have some amount of peace. I went to a dermatologist who gave me every kind of pill and every kind of cream for my face and nothing worked. He even scaped my face to see if I had a bacteria growing on it, even though I washed every day. Pretty disgusting. Any ways the lab came back negative. The dermatologist thought I may have rosacea except for the itchy part. That symptom did not fit. Needless to say I got tired of it and went to a plastic surgery office that offers light chemical peels. The doctor did not think that the peel was such a good idea with the way my face appeared broke out and all and she thought that the peel might irritate it and make it worse. I said regardless of the outcome I still wanted to give it a try. I did, and within one and a half to two weeks my face was completely cleared up. No bumps, no itching, no irritation. The chemical peel worked for me. This happened in 2004, my face has been cleared from these annoying itchy bumps until now. This time they came back and are on my face, my neck and my upper chest. Still can not figure out what they are, but the chemical worked the first time so I am going to go give it another try. I will let everyone know what happens. If anyone figures out what these bumps may be please let me know. Also some of the stuff that was said in earlier threads about recently having kids or smoking. I had my kids in 1993 and 1996, so the whole giving birth recently did not cause it and also I have never smoked. Let me know if anyone figures it out. Good luck and if you do try the peel , let me know if it works for you. The peel I got only costs around a $100.00.
Well, good luck to all, and may we all find relief
