I hope this clarifies any questions you had.
This could be putting your doctor off, depending on how you word it. Doctors, as a rule, do not appreciate you second guessing them because of something you read on the internet. They went to school a long time to learn the differences between those conditions that you yourself said you couldn't differentiate.

It's possible that he actually can't help you until you take the antibiotics. Your reaction to them could net the necessary information to discern your condition. A dermatologist could end up telling you exactly the same thing.
