Misdiagnosis by dermatologist
I visited an NHS registered dermatologist after struggling with my skin for the past two years (19f). My presentation includes moderate erythema, particularly concentrated around dialated pores in my sebaceous zones. I have a rough texture with little protruding plugs, and a few superficial mini pustules which form directly over the pore occasionally. I suspected demodex mites/ rosacea however was instead diagnosed with KP. This is odd to me considering there were some inconsistencies which she dismissed- i had no childhood onset, no family history, no other affected areas, and texture and redness exclusive to sebaceous zones (KP is known to target dry areas). Regardless, I was prescribed adapalene and soolantra (despite her saying not microbial?) so will be updating with my experience. Please share any thoughts!
