“The most common signs are pallor and maceration of the mucosa in the angle of the mouth (angular stomatitis) and vermilion surfaces of the lips (cheilosis), followed by superficial linear fissures that may leave scars when healed. When these lesions are infected by Candida albicans, greyish white exuberant lesions (perleche) result. The tongue may appear magenta/ Cutaneous lesions usually affect the nasolabial folds, alae nasi, ears, eyelids, scrotum and labia majora. These areas become red, scaly and greasy and sebaceous material acccumulates in hair follicles producing dyssebacia or shark skin. Treatment: 10 to 30 mg orally per day until a response is evident. Then 2 to 4 mg until recovery.

I know the desperate feeling you are going through. I hated going to school and have everyone stare at me. Get an otc lotion called bevoline. I had cystic acne (the worse type) and acne scarring along my chin. The lotion doesn't clear you up from one day to the next but if you are patient, you will see significant improvements every time you use it. By a month I was only getting a pimple here and there. By six months my acne scarring was completely gone. It's cheaper on Amazon if you have prime. I hope my answer helps:)
