492921 tn?1321289896 There are a few anti-acne medications, such as Tetracycline, Salicylic Acid, Tretinon, and Isotrentinoin that either are known to be harmful during pregnancy or have not been fully tested as to their effects on pregnant women. Of course, you should always check with your health care provider before using any medications while pregnant, whether they are over-the-counter or prescription.
Avatar f tn my dearest kitty Bubbles was last diagonsed with cat Acne, she was given treatment to ease the pain. it worked for a few weeks but now it is becoming worse. on her back (by her tail) are these scabby spots and they seem to be speading to her belly and head. she also bites herself so that must mean they itch. she is also loosing her hair because of her biting. she is an old cat but she makes a racket when we are trying to sleep and she is biting herself away.
Avatar n tn Approximately 3 months ago I was in Asia and had sex (vaginal, no oral) with a girl there. On my way home I developed an acne like rash on my forehead which I ignored for a few weeks thinking it would go away. When it didn't, I started to worry that it is herpes. I made an appointment with my doctor but got impatient waiting a week to see him and went to urgent care. The nurse practitioner there insisted that it isn't herpes, told me I have acne and gave me antibiotics.
Avatar n tn At the age of 23 I went to a new dermatologist who suggested trialing a 4th treatment of Roacutane, I refused not knowing the permanent damage it might have on my body especially considered I'd like to have children one day and Roacutane causes birth deformities. So he suggested I get a blood test to check for hormone imbalance. Turns out I my androgen levels are outside the normal female range. Not much I can do about that I guess.
Avatar m tn Before three months ago I had very painful acne not on my chin but on cheek but I let it be for a week and it cure by own. I did nothing for it.
Avatar n tn I have cystic acne on my face - it turned out to be allergy related. I do not touch or use things on my face and then I do not get the cysts. But all it takes is to wash my hands without my dove soap at a restaurant and then touch my face to realize I must have been allergic to the soap.
1364054 tn?1346005167 Hello, Adaplene is a topical retinoid primarily used in the treatment of mild-moderate acne. Adapalene controls acne but does not cure it. Medications similar to adapalene have caused tumors in laboratory animals who were given the medications and exposed to real or artificial sunlight. It is not known whether adapalene increases the risk of tumors in humans. But it is advisable to protect yourself from sunlight and sunlamps while taking adapalene. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Since i got pregnant i got acne all over my body but its worse on my face. I nvr wanted to use anything for it fearing my skin wud absorb the chems and harm my baby. It's annoying tho..should i treat it?
Avatar m tn Hello, Fusidic acid and minocycline are both antibiotics which are used for the treatment of acne. Treatment options include topical and oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. Normally a combination of treatments is followed and if nothing proves effective then dermabrasion and laser therapy are useful. You can discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
Avatar f tn ve been doing this weekly for almost 3 months. I get my blood tested for the first time since being on this next week. My "Hypo" symptoms before getting on Armour were being "cold to the bone"/freezing than normal, dry hair/skin, constipated, slight depression (didn't know until after I had taken Armour for awhile that I that "gloom"), irritable. Now: Had gotten that energy back and BM's were more normal (sorry TMI) for the first time in forever.
Avatar m tn When my daughter turned 6 last June, she developed acne on her forehead. Mistakenly we thought it was molluscum (which she had on other body parts). The dermatologist recommended a salicylic based acne medication. After a few days of not working, I am trying Clearasil with a 3% sulfur base. I don't even know if this is for sure safe for children.

But now 5 months later... its still not gone and on top of that I have these dark marks that the acne has left behind. Im really starting to get afraid that its not gonna work. Has accutane ever not worked for anyone? Does it usually take this long? Will it every go away? words of encouragement...?

Avatar m tn I had been prescribed a supplement for the treatment of acne and the salts in that supplement contain myo -inositol, D-Chiron Inositol, Chromium and Vitamin D3 and I have been taking these for 3 months now. I haven't been diagnosed with any PCOS or hormonal imbalance in my reports. Is it safe to take these supplements without any side effects as i read on internet these supplements are used for PCOS treatment mainly.

Avatar f tn What are your ladies thoughts on using acne products with salicylic acid? I have read mixed reviews, saying it's safe and isn't safe. I've been using it, it's in my face wash. What have you ladies been told? Or do you have any other treatment recommendations?
Avatar m tn In some cases, the vet might also prescribe some sort of topical medication too, similar to the way humans use acne creams. But never use topical human medicines on cats or other animals. Once your vet has cleaned the affected area, he or she might also recommend neutering your cat.
Avatar f tn that some Lupus patients have. Does spending time in the sun make you break out? First step is getting ANA tested, but there are other tests as well.
Avatar n tn I would also like to add that I dont have bed bugs, animals, flea's, or cockroaches.
Avatar f tn Pat it dry and do not rub it. Avoid picking or pressing the acne. You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face. Other treatment options include hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn They are not severe and often finish within a few days leaving no scars. These are on my face and present as single acne bumps. Sometimes they can occur on other parts of my skin, but they always go away by themselves. I have nodules which appear like hair ingrowths in my pubic region, however, I think they may be connected to whatever I have. Sometimes I get small nodules under my eyelids which are small but also finish by themselves.
Avatar n tn Back and shoulder acne are quite difficult to treat compared to acne on other parts of the body. Thoroughly wash your body everyday, especially the back and shoulder part using a back brush and frequently change your bed sheet, as it is conducive for bacterial growth. Engage in a diet that is low in sugar and fat but is rich in vitamins. This prevents acne by preventing the buildup of excess oil on the skin. Also refrain from touching or squeezing your shoulder acne.
Avatar n tn it is not the first time i have this grown pimple on the same spot, actully second tho. i don;t either get this quite often,but most like eventually. the most disturbing thing is that there's no way to squeeze out all its grossy stuff in it. as you can see in the pic. it's a huge one and i can;t stand it anymore. i've been applying this product Neutrogena on-the-spot, which kinda helped me a bit. but not enough effective tho.
