erythromycin and retin a

is it ok to use tetracycline, retin-a, and hydroquinone togther as part of a daily routine, and whats the best sunscreen lotion?

So if you find anything that helps the forhead acne let me know!! For a bit I used Nivea face wash and cream and it helps a little.

Hello. I have been using retin-a 3 times a week and sulfacetamide 3 times a week (alternating each night). I just so happened to start reading the information for retin-a and it says, "if you have recently used products containing sulfur....use tretinoin with caution." Do i have something to be worried about?

Hey, My dermo gave me Retin A cream to go along with my accutane. She said it would help clear up some of the dark spots I had on my skin from the acne. Will this help? What is this stuff usually used for ?

I am confused, as retin A cream is said to cause the skin to thin, and applying the cream is supposed to generate collegen which I though thickened the skin. Could you pleas explain? thank you.

Angebelle, thanks for your reply. That is good news about the Retin-A. I am going to a dermatologist in a few weeks, and and am going to ask for it. I always thought it was only for acne, so wish I knew sooner! I appreciate your descriptions about your Mom's skin. In the meantime, I will use my Vichy, which is highly rated, but as you say, is not prescription strength.. Thanks, so glad I am not smoking. If anyone has any comments on smoking damage and retinol, I'd appreciate it!!

I have been taking Retin A about an year now, and my skin has improved a lot. So, when I started I had this ugly period as expected. But, recently I feel, I am going through the same ugly period, and my skin looks darker every time I use Retin A. So, should I stop it or is it just another ugly period that will go away, after some time?

i have been taking minocycline 100 mg to 200 mg a day sometimes and using retin a micro 0.1% gel every night for 2 years.I have been getting alot of acne for the last 2 or 3 months so i went to my see my dermatologist.he said since i been taking minocycline 100 mg daily for 2 years and using the retin a micro 0.1% for 2 years and im still breaking out i should try something new like it may be wearing off....he put me on oracea 40mg once a day and differin gel 0.3%....

My doctor then gave me Erythromycin to take (2, twice a day)... as well as the Metronidazole (3, three times a day). This seems like an awful lot of antibiotics. Why was I given Erythromycin, when from as far as I can tell, Metronidazole alone is the recommended treatment for BV? Hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!

I am currently taking benzaclin and erythromycin gel at night and Evoclin foam in the day. I also tweeze and wax the hairs. I was wondering if tretinoin cream would help prevent ingrown hairs due to increased epithelial cell turnover? I know laser treatment would be most beneficial but cannot afford it at the moment. What can I do in the meantime to help prevent ingrown hair and pimples in the hair follicle?

I heard that broken capillaries caused by retin a doesnt go away fully. Retin a causes vascularization which is dark circles under the eyes. Retin a thins the skin and exposes veins under the eye. This has to be treated with laser treatments because apparently it doesnt go away. I dont understand the use of Retin A. It worsens the skin wrinkles, acne, thin skin, dark circles....and then after 6 months or years of use..."you hope" that itll get better...

Hello there, I am very worried that I may have accidentally harmed my baby without realizing it. I have used retin A for years for acne and wrinkles all over my face, and on my back and chest. I have used .1%. I found out at about 3 weeks pregnant that it can cause birth defects. I have stopped using it of course, but I am so scared. Studies on the internet say many different things. I welcome any thoughts for my situation. Thanks!

I get normal pimples tho but these come once in a while and theyre different and they start out as a small bruise and i can kind of feel a lump underneath but they stay there and manifest for longer and when they finally do pop theres alot of dark blood and pus and it always leaves a worse scar than my normal pimples. Shot in the dark if you reply but did you ever find out what it was or a solution for you?

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about this. Skin problems are so emotional in nature too because of how we all are about our appearance. But you are not alone. When the health crisis blows over, seeing a dermatologist may be of benefit to you. They do have things they can prescribe. Retin-A is one of them. Some women also have success going on birth control pills when they have adult acne. Make sure your make up isn't contributing to the issue as well.

For the past 4 summers since, I still get the white spots after being in the sun. I was wondering if using Retin-A for skincare/wrinkle control is okay in patients with pityriasis alba? Would it cause further depigmentation or actually reverse the effects? Thank you!

I was prescribed Erythromycin Ophthalmic Ointment USP, 0.5% (sterile) to be applied to the eyes' eyelid margins every night at bedtime. What is the minimum and maximum time (i.e. days, months) I can use this medication without making the bacteria drug resistant or causing other problems?

20% of Accutane patients require a second or third course. You must wait 8 weeks between courses since acne can continue to clear during this time. If Retin-A does cause irritation try a gentler synthetic topical retinoid such as Differin (adapalene 0.1%) as this is very effective and generally well tolerated. See the Acne forum for more advice. Eloise.

Hi there I have a erythrasma rash that won't go away . It is in my groin . So going to the gym is painful walking for long periods is painful and even working long hours is painful . I was on erythromycin for two weeks and it appeared to mostly clear up but then it has come back and won't seem to go away with erythromycin cream and diaper rash cream over top to stop the sweating . I have not had erythromycin for a good two weeks . I use 100% unscented products and I am 209 pounds .

Can Erythromycin and Benzoyl Peroxide Topical Gel cause a vaginial yeast infection.

What is the best topical(s) for reversing the side effects of cortiosteroid creams? I know about Retin-A, however the area of skin I need treated is very sensitive skin and I don't think retin-a would do much good there! So what other topicals are there to help improve skin thinning and bad skin reactions to steroid creams? Be specific with products if you can please!

What are good topicals to use to thicken and strengthen thin skin on sensitive areas of the body? I have already tried emu oil and some vitamin C & E creams with minimal improvement, however I don't want to use Retin-A because I believe it could be too harsh for this skin. To be specific the skin is not as elatsic and firm as it once was and seems weaker, maybe partially due to previous overuse of certain topical medications.

After a gastric empty study my doctor decided to put me on liquid Erythromycin three times a day, because apparently I was one percentage away from an "abnormal" emptying time. Because 60mg of Prevacid wasn't helping me, my doctor thought that perhaps slowed emptying could be causing my persistent burning. On top of my heartburn/reflux problem, I also have a history of ovarian cysts.

I have small little white pimples under my skin ( it feels grainy) and small blackheads even sometimes on my sholders. is retin-a micro going to work . my doctor recommended it, but he didn't give me any toner or moisturizer to use and retin-a makes my skin feel dry. and he even didn't seem to care much so, now i am wondering if it is gonna work :-( and what products to use to keep my pores clean. to prevent more blackheads.
