Age: 19Sex: maleSigns & Symptoms: small red dryskin like acne that scabs over and slowly spreads I think. Scabs easily fall off and then acne produces fluid and rescabs. The scabs don't seem to heal back to normal. On lower right cheek/chin. Allergies: none.Medications: none. Pertinent past medical history: none that I know of.Last oral intake: Fairly good diet, fruit, veggies, cafe food from uni.Events associated with or leading up to this injury or illness: I first realized this acne about 3 weeks ago. I was watching a movie in a friends room and I made popcorn in my microwave. A bit of the salt dripped onto my bed sheets around where my head would sit. The next morning I noticed this rash on my face. I thought it was dry skin but It scabbed over and has been falling off and rescabbing for 3 weeks. I have a hard time telling if it's spreading.

Weird Acne/Rash on face for 3 weeks

A doctor is probably the only one that could diagnose it. But it does look like some kind of allergy.I would get it checked, oddly enough staph is pretty common on the face, because people touch it so much. Try not shaving it, and use a mild soap to clean it, if it isn't getting better in a couple days go see a doc.
