Possible Causes for eruptions

Rosacea

We report a case of a rosacea-like eruption in a 39-year-old woman occurring after the use of pimecrolimus cream for 12 months for atopic dermatitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Long-term treatment (5 to 8 weeks or more) with oral antibiotics such as tetracycline may control skin eruptions. [ailesburyclinic.ie]

The causative role of Demodex folliculorum should be considered in immunocompetent children with rosacea or rosacea-like refractory eruptions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Acne Vulgaris

When this question arises, we can presume that we have crossed the boundaries of "acneiform eruptions" of the face. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Acne variants and acneiform eruptions also exist, many of which have an identifiable and reversible etiology. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

Hypersensitivity

The eruption returned with successive alemtuzumab infusions (infusions 19, 20 and 21), remained present for longer and was more severe with each infusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
