Avatar m tn Now I am 20 and I am Male. I used to take some ointments(clindamycin,benzoyl peroxide) but that had only temporary effects. Of late, I have started taking medications on the advice of a doctor who says that I have reached the Gr.IV satge of acne. It is given as follows: Isotretinoin 20 mg twice daily, body weight being 50 kg. Adapalene and Clindamycin gel on the face But there I have developed some side-effects like: Loss of apetite, dehydration.
Avatar f tn If you are having inflammatory acne then tetracycline or doxycycline or minocycline; benzoyl peroxide 5% gel; azelaic acid 20% cream; clindamycin 1% lotion or cream; erythromycin 2% gel or cream. If you are having recalcitrant acne in women then probably oral contraceptive containing norgestimate 0.25 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.035 mg; spironolactone; prednisone. If you have acne where sweating is an aggravating factor then aluminum chloride solution should be your choice of your treatment.
Avatar n tn I had some folliculitis on both thighs, and I applied some benzoyl peroxide on Thursday to help clear it up. On Friday, in the exact areas where I applied the benzoyl peroxide, I now have a rash that has developed. Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to benzoyl peroxide? How long would this type of rash take to go away?

Avatar n tn I have tiny bumps under the skin that never seem to disappear and can't be "popped". I know you should never pop ur pimples but these have been there for months. It started when i was 20 and for the past three years it's gotten progressively worse. When I started using liquid foundations the dumps increased 10X the amount. Now that i'm using more natural products there are less but they itch and are all over my face.

Other 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 m tn The first product was a salicylic acid foam cleanser, the second was a salicylic toner, and the third was a benzoyl peroxide lotion. (I have used salicylic acid before, so I don't think that was the cause of the reaction.) After two days of use, my skin was extremely dry and my eyes were swollen. I stopped using the benzoyl peroxide, but continued with the salicylic acid because I was out of town with no other products. After six days, I stopped using the products entirely.
Avatar m tn I went to my physician the other day, and instead of prescribing me dynacin which he usually does for the past year or so, he told me to get an over the counter Benzoyl Peroxide wash, and that my acne was so mild that dynacin wasn't needed anymore. Before the trip to the doctor, I washed my skin once a day with Clearasil Sacrylic Acid (2%) acne scrub and took the Dynacin (100mg, twice a day).

Avatar f tn If anyone could help me I’d greatly appreciate it!!! I’ve used benzoyl peroxide for acne for years now. A few months back I purchased ambi fade cream which contains hydroquinone. I applied the hydroquinone to a small mark on my face to try and fade it but I already had benzoyl peroxide cream on my face and now I have a stained circle of reddish/pink on my face. It’s been a few months now and it still hasn’t gone away.
