acne types and causes

ve always had an even tone overall (with the exception of when I breakout and get the acne dark marks). I received a second opinion and my new dr. gave me clindamycin lotion and 6% benzyl peroxide cleanser but the problem has not changed. Can you please tell me what you think this may be? It's really affecting my self-esteem. I did some research and came across a condition called exogenous ochronosis or something like that which is irreversible. Could this be what's happening to me?

Of course, continue with the soaps and ointments as well. Acne can be pretty stubborn, so if you find something that works, stick with it.

Hi, Accutane is the brand name of "Isotretinoin".

Accutane is strong medicine for acne cure but can have serious side effects.

Acne is not listed as a possible side effect of phentermine, but phentermine is considered a methamphetamine; methamphetamines are known to causes acne. I am a biology teacher and am frustrated that medical professionals are not confirming the overwhelming reports of acne being associated with phentermine. Is it a conspiracy???? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/239823'>relationship between phentermine and adult acne onset.</a>.

I have been diagnosed w/ both perioral and seborrheic dermatitis and I am trying to find a facial cleanser and moisturizer that reduces flare-ups. In the past I was battling acne and had luck w/ neutrogena acne wash; my problem is that a lot of cleansers have sodium lauryl sulfate (or derivatives) of it including the neutrogena. Do you know of cleansers/moisturizers that are effective in controlling all three skin conditions?

Hello, Chemical peel is a technique which makes use of some chemicals which are used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin. It uses a chemical solution that causes the dead skin to slough off and eventually peel off. They are of many types like alpha hydroxy acid peels, beta hydroxy acid peels, TCA peels, phenol peels and glycolic peels. There is minimal discomfort so usually no anesthetic is given because the patient feels only a slight stinging when the solution is applied.

I would definately have your thyroid levels checked. And remember there are two differnent types of thyroid conditions. One is hyperthyroid and one is hypothyroid. You can be thin with hyper and be overweight with hypo. Most people think if you have a thyroid condition you will be big. This is not the case in hyperthyroid. Make sure the check your TSH and Free t3 and free t4 levels. They should also check your thryroid antibodies to be sure.

Physical symptoms such as bloating, abdominal cramps, constipation, swelling or tenderness in the breasts, cyclic acne, and joint or muscle pain have been associated with menstrual cycle. Hormone change during this time plays an important role and symptoms usually resolve when hormones stabilizes. Over-the-counter pain medications, warm compress and rest may help provide relief. However, if the abdominal pain persists, check with your doctor to rule out other causes.

One thing to mention, I’ve been taking doxycycline 100mg every other day for acne (and someone’s skipping a few days), it’s a very low dose since it’s every other day. I was wondering maybe if I start taking it every day it might solve my problem? I think I read that doxycycline is often taken for these types of issues but maybe what I’ve been taking is just too low of a dose for this type of problem.

Hi ya'll, I am a 26 year old female who a year ago started getting horrible facial acne but only on the cheeks and in the past year has experienced a unexplained 10 pound weight gain with no changes to her diet.

" and that was my PCP, gynecologist, and a gastro doctor.

hello everyone and sorry my bad english. So, I touched a guys erect penis for 3-5 seconds (then I stop, because my mind said: "dont. what if he has hiv?").

What if on his hand there was a wound, or blood? :( :confused: That event causes HIV for me?

If not, what else could I do to reduce the appearance of the red marks? The acne is on my chest and is very hard to look at. I live in Florida and it is very hot and I cannot take off my shirt with this look. It seems to not be fading at all. Thanks for your help.

Not on it anywhere, but around, near panty lines and on my inner thighs. They are flat and pink and sometimes come to heads that, once popped, bleed. These are becoming more plentiful and today I have four pink bumps on my bum as well. I need help! What is wrong with me? I haven't had unprotected sex for two years, and the man that I did that with was my steady (and current) boyfriend who has been tested for STDs and STIs.
