How To Get Clear Face

I was perscribed accutane or roaccutane in the UK when I was about 19 (1997) all seemed well at first but in the last 15 years I have suffered from boils/systs mainly around my face and head area, my hair started going grey not long after taking the medicine and yesterday I found out I have arthritis in my wrists. I'm only 34 and none of these problems are prevalent in my family. My advice is, stay clear or try other alternative medicine or put up with the acne, If I could go back I would rather have the acne than the possible side efects of this drug.

I am 26 years old having allergy on my face. I took medicine for ear infection 1 week before from ent, I consulted doctor again he gave some allergies tables I took yesterday for two times still facing same issue this time it getting more, pls suggest I can't go to office ## An allergic reaction is really not going to clear up overnight, with a just a few doses of the medication. It will need more time and you should take the medication the doctor provided you with, as they've directed, to see if it helps. If you don't get any results after 5 to 7 days, or if it gets worse, then you'd need to return to your doctor for further assistance. What type of allergic reaction do you have on your face?

I used triaminolone 0.1% on my face,it did clear up my face. But, now my face is starting to break out. What can I use to clear up my face? ## Hello, Ree! How are you? Triamcinolone is classified by the FDA as a corticosteroid, which means it can cause acne as a side effect. Thus, it's likely just going to take time for your body to process it, so the breakout stops and clears up. Other side effects may possibly include skin redness, dryness and irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Before I had left to Mexico I was using Gelmicin for a month because I started to get a lot of Whitehead’s and textured skin mainly on my forehead and it helped my skin clear up fast! But when I left to Mexico while being over there my skin slowly went back to how it was and ever since I came back I’ve gotten more bumps on my face, so I switched up my routine and stopped Gelmicin. But i don’t know if I should try using it again? What should I do? ## Hi Yamilet, Gelmicin is indicated to be a topical antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal combination product. From what I've researched, Gelmicin isn't generally regarded as being used for acne, but depending on whether there's an infection present would likely be the deciding factor in so far as determini...

I am using evion 400 mg capsule since 10 days orally and applying its gel on my face. But now i am feeling some pimple and acne problem on my face. What should i do, because everyone has given a positive response for evion 400? Should i wait for some days and use it regularly to see its effect or stop using it? Plz advise. ## Hi. I have very dry skin. Can I use vitamin E directly for wrinkles? If not, please tell me about any other solution for wrinkles. ## @asha, Sometimes if your face is too oily for too long it will turn into a breeding ground for break outs. In such circumstances it may be a good idea to use facial wipes (made with tea tree) in between applications, so as to help balance out oil levels and clear any clogged pores, allowing your skin to breath better. I'd also re...

My son suffered an allergic reaction to solodyn. He was prescribed for acne. He was on the medication for 1 month with no reaction. Was then put on a different antibotic for one month and then switched back to Solodyn. After three days on the Solodyn, he broke out in a rash. Large bumps most in big clusters with rash.

I took a 75mcg and later 50 mcg regimen of Levothyroxine for 3 months beginning last Thanksgiving (2013). I have always had the clearest skin of anyone I've known until taking this medication when I began developing cystic acne. After telling my doctor of the acne, he promptly told me that he'd never heard of such a side effect and recommended that I go see a dermatologist for some face wash (!). I didn't, I stopped going to that BS doctor, and I stopped taking the meds. That was at the end of February. It is now the end of August and the acne has yet to subside. I've read other forums where many of the people who've stopped the meds had their acne subside but mine is persistent! The meds have seriously messed with my hormones and I really don't know what to do o...

If you are currently taking Clindamycin for a staph infection, will you still continue to get small folliculitis bumps on your face, chest, neck and/or back? Or is that a sign that the antibiotic is not working a 100% and your doctor may need to switch you to something stronger to completely clear the infection? ## Hello, Misty! How are you? How long have you been taking it? In this case, it could take a few days for it to start to work to clear it up. But usually, you should start to see improvement after 3 full days of taking it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. ## I'm on clindamycin for 3 days now and although the pain has subsided the abscess is still there. I have a 10 day Supply am i ...

My teen daughter is on Yaz for hormonal acne. This is her 6th month & her face is the worse it has ever been! She is getting cyst on forehead & along sides of face. Does Tri-Sprintec have a higher dosage of estrogen than Yaz? Also, she is having mood swings like crazy! Help this mom who wants to help alleviate her moods & clear her face acne!! ## Hello, Susan! How is she doing? I'm very sorry about the problems your daughter is having. Actually, hormonal acne is usually caused by estrogen, so it likely wouldn't be a good idea to give her a pill with a higher amount of it. Have you consulted her doctor, yet? She may need to try a different one.

I put this combo on face fro 5 days as prescribed. Pretty awful for 2 of the days but all clear after 2 weeks. HOWEVER, then I developed a bad rash on my chest - did not apply cream there. Doctor doesn't know but thinks maybe the absorbed cream went systemic. Cortisone helped. Now a similar rash has spread to my legs and arms. not burning but supper bumpy and itchy. Scrambling to find help. Has anyone experienced a systematic reaction to untreated parts of the body? ## You are definitely having an allergic reaction to Something. Is it this creme or something else you are using causing it. The same thing happened to me and it was a nightmare. I also lost a lot of my hair. See who the manufacturing company is and where they are located-some foreign country?? China?? The easy way is to...

Ive been on tri sprintec for exactly two weeks now and im braking out... A lot. All over my cheast and my face. Ive tryed to clear it up but i cant and its getting worse. Will this change???? ## Did you contact your doctor? Has it cleared up, any? Since these are hormonal based contraceptives, they will sometimes cause breakouts, in some people, when your body is still getting used to them. It usually clears up, after about 3 months, once your body has adjusted to the medication.

Ive moved to Australia from New Zealand and since arriving three months ago my face has had the worst case of acne ever. I did get a mild case of acne in high school but it got better over the years. Now since living in Australia Ive noticed extreme acne and red, puffy. itchy and dry rashes on my face. I used proactive for the first time a month and a half ago and that did help clear the pimples after a week or so but the rashes quickly spread and my face started burning. I then decided to stop using proactive and see the doctor. The doctor then prescribed me Doxycycline 50g which i have to take once every day for 6 months and also wash my face with a unscented, acne-free soap bar. My face did start to clear up but then quickly spread to other parts of my face. I did notice an improveme...

Does Purbac cause you to break out more in the beginning stage for use of acne treatment before clearing your skin? ## When i 1st got in the pharmacy i had a minor rush on my face,so the pharmacist priscribed purbac for me,its been two day im taking it and i think the rash is getting worse than before,is it normal or should i live the medicine? ## Yes, that is a possibility, according to NIH reports, other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. Are either of you on any other medications? Thelma, this might not be appropriate to treat a basic skin rash, it is an antibiotic that is only useful for treating bacterial infections.

Have had recurring infection for over 10 years ON FACE, no less. No one seems interested in helping me to clear infection. They try one med or another but there never seems to be any real change. Anybody out there found a cure for staph. I got it while hospitalized and the hospital won't acknowledge my emails, much less help me to get rif of this. Scarring on face is noticeable and I think they should help me out. But, no one even acknowledges that I have contacted them. Is this a ploy to allow statute of limitations to run out?

RXd Cipro 500mg bid x 7 days in mid-July for e coli kidney infection. Cleared infection. However, broke out in major seborrheic dermatitis all over face, head, and groin while taking. Also noticed anxiety ramping up while taking with decreasing appetitie and gastric upset/loose stools. I was already suffering from knee pain and plantar fasciitis, but have since developed more widespread muscle pain and more joint pain elsewhere, especially left elbow and hips, and the knee and heel feel worse than ever. No physical reason for this, and my achilles are more sore than ever as well. I lost 26 pounds since the day I started Cipro course for no other explainable reason, and my weight was stable before taking it for months. My anxiety is now intolerable if I don't take Xanax XR .5 at leas...
