Solodyn and infection

Common Questions and Answers about Solodyn and infection

solodyn

Avatar n tn Solodyn is used for 'acne' and is NOT known for weight loss with it.
Avatar n tn I'm wondering if there's any research supporting a link between solodyn and eye floaters. I was on Solodyn for about 2 months and my vision deteriorated over the same period of time. I have pretty severe floaters that distract me in reading and computer use. Previously a little farsighted but not requiring glasses. Optometrist says the back of my eye looks like "a spiderweb." No retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, etc.
Avatar m tn I just found out that I am 6-7 weeks pregnant and I took Solodyn 115mg for the first month of my pregnancy! I am really scared that this might have harmed my baby. All the websites say to avoid becoming pregnant while taking Solodyn because it has been shown to cause harm to the human fetus. Has anyone been in this situation?
Avatar n tn My Dermatologist did a nose swab, and the results came back as psudomonas, and I completed a dosage of Cipro, and used neosporin in the nostrils. One of the bolis has come back however, approximately as big as a fingertip, and is somewhat painful. I went back and had a culture of the actual infection taken (results unknown), but as the doctor said the drainage was just blood, that I am probably dealing with a cyst that may need to be removed.
Avatar n tn no results Abt two months ago, I was prescribed Solodyn, I use neutrogena creamy wash, Retin-A and some hydroquinone for the dark spots. The solodyn make me break out in a HEAP of HIVES !! so I stopped taking it about 3 weeks ago and now I have been prescribe Bactrim? It seems that antibiotics are the ONLY thing that cure my acne since I have really oily skin. The topicals dry it out in the beginning, and I only apply a little, but then my sebaceous glands quickly make up for the lack of oil.
Avatar m tn I try to think positively and hope and pray for the best and really hope that it is all coincidental with the heavy period, and the wiping and the yeast infection causing these cuts, and that is possible, but I am just trying to get through these next 4 days without losing my mind. I also recently discovered 1 cut in my inner labia possibly from the yeast infection, or from wiping to hard...as well as geographic tongue (crossing my fingers it is a coincidence). Scared, hopeful and praying....
Avatar m tn I saw a dermatologist and he said that it was folliculitis and prescribed me solodyn (minocyciline). The sores on my lips usually last a week, but I usually pop them and they are sore, but no blood or pus comes out. They heal and have dissapeared, but for a little redness that you can't really see unless you look closely in the mirror. Is there still a chance that this is herpes?
Avatar m tn So it sounds like your docs are taking your situation seriously. The next question would be whether (as your rightly ask) the Solodyn treats Lyme and therefore affects the Lyme tests. That, I don't know for sure, but it's not a reason not to take the meds. Any doc reading your test results would take into account the meds you are already on and the effect they might have on the tests.
Avatar f tn Just want to know two years to the month of my last sexual partner I got sick where I had bad joint pain in my knees and wrists it was difficult to move. If someone had hiv would it take two years or could it have been a reaction to the medication solodyn which does have a side effect of joint pain. I have been tested several times since that encounter and my hiv test even up to febuary when I got sick was negative and the three previous tests before that were negative.
Avatar m tn s twice in the last two years and have been told it was genital herpes at first, but then have no antibodies in my blood test for hsv 1 or 2. Then I went and got checked at a Planned Parenthood and described my symptoms and was told that because of the area of recurring bumps that it was most likely folliculitis and also be tested negative for herpes.
1094941 tn?1264559085 I have had a red itchy rash on both sides of my face and then some regular looking bumps too. Above my chin and on the sides of my mouth I have some big blister like bumps that are filled with water and hurt bad. I have treated them with all sorts of things and now my skin feals like sand paper and is so dry. It is very red and irritated and I am so depressed and angry. I don't want to be seen by anyone. I have never had anything like this.
Avatar m tn I took a blood test for herpes 1 and 2 and it came back negative. In February, I got retested again and it came back negative for both. I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed me solodyn (minocycline) for folliculitis and said that most likely that is what it is. Recently I experienced the same bumps on the same side of my lower lip where my lip meets my skin. I went to get it tested today and the doctor did not test for herpes, but said that it most likely was herpes.
Avatar n tn No sores. But, my left testicle seems sore and my urethra sometimes feels like I have soap in it - seems worse when I am sitting down. Does not burn to pee or ejaculate. Feel like I am stopping to check my penis every ten minutes and it is driving me crazy! HELP!
Avatar n tn Went back to him and he prescribed me epiduo with solodyn. After a few weeks i had tiny red spots on my face and huge pimples. I tried proactive as well and that didnt work. After that i told him the situation over the phone and he said to continue the solodyn with epiduo. i did for another month and nothing happened. He now switced me to cephalaxin and i have been on it for about three days. my whole face now has tiny pimples starting to emerge in areas i never have had them before.
Avatar n tn Also, the itch and discharge could be due to a yeast infection, which would have been caused by the medication and the birthcontrol. (BC can cause yeast infections). And the nausea is probably either in your mind or due to the stress of thinking you are pregnant. I think that you are making yourself sick, by being so paranoid. Women can experience symptoms of pregnancy when they think they are pregnant, when infact, they aren't.
Avatar m tn In the last 2 years, I have noticed 2x's I have had some slight irritation underneath my penis. Its only 1 spot on it really doesnt hurt but rather annoying. The site is where the foreskin was removed and like I said, it's only a small "wrinkled" inflammation. Im married and I have had a recent HIV and other STD test ( just not herpes test) due to us doing IVF treatments and we both are neg. I masturbated about 1 week ago and not sure if this caused this.
1165843 tn?1263018569 Spironolactone. Girls can take it, not boys. That is the key to cystic acne for girls. All hormonal based. I'm 49 and have had them since 17 years old. Still get them, but only once a year. Taking Solodyn 105 mg. with it, too. That's a high dose, but necessary. Spironolactone comes in 25mg pills. One pill a day is not enough! That won't fix anything. I take 100 mg a day to maintain. 50 mg in the morning and 50mg at night.
Avatar f tn She has been through several antibiotics with no results. She is currently on Bactrim and due to go back to Dermatologist tomorrow with suggestion of starting Accutane. She woke up with this acne in mid-December and began taking Vyvanse a few weeks before. Could there be any correlation? I don't want to jump into Accutane if Vyvanse could be causing it but she is so self-conscious.
Avatar f tn I have tried so many different medications and treatments but none seem to work long-term and afternoon 14 years of this I am very frustrated and just don’t know what to do. Many of the medications seem to help for a couple of months but then my acne always flares back up. I have seen many doctors and dermatologists and my last one said that if what he put me on now does not work there is not many options left aside from acutane which I REALLY do not want to do.
Avatar f tn 05% a sodium, sulfacetamide 10%, sulfur 5% cleanser, solodyn 55mg pills to control my acne and sunscreen but yet again (surprise surprise) didn't help with the hyper pigmentation. I have fair skin and it makes the hyper pigmentation appear darker than it is because of the contrast. Right now I added kojic acid to my routine and been using it everyday for 3 days but haven't been noticing a big change and I'm not sure if it is working or not.
Avatar n tn I am on solodyn and thought maybe that could be causing this. I am currently using cortizone and aquafor as that is the only thing that does not irritate me. What do i do?
Avatar n tn Looking at the side-effects of Solodyn; joint pain is a side effect. I use Solodyn and take Celebrex for the pain. The Celebrex has helped a lot. Just a thought. I have used Celebrex on and off for 6 years and have no ill effects. It is way better than ibuprofen, Alleve and the like. It doesn't irritate my stomach and does not make you drowsy or anything.
Avatar m tn This test seems pretty conclusive that all the symptoms were real and this itching / burning is HSV1 infection in genital area. I thought I was only rubbing near the left tip of my penis making it a bit red/raw and the couple red bumps like acne on left side pubic area were just that...folliculitis as I have read here. Doctor, I am more confused than ever now after your assurances I didn't catch anything. No fever blister on lips, so do you agree it is likely HSV1 genitally?
Avatar m tn Ok so me and my boyfriend had sex and wore a condom, it didnt break i dont think...i havnt had my period since i was supposed to get it on the 19th of jan. becuase my last period was on the 21 of dec. Its the 21 of Jan now and i still dont have it and i am freaking out. i took a test 3 days ago..it was a no name brand but it came back negetive.. am i just stressing myself out? and causing a late period or do u think something is wrong.
Avatar f tn We tried Erythromycin for 6 months, prednisone, topical creams, and UV light therapy. Well now of it worked. So I was going crazy and my poor daughter was scaring and crying because of her skin. First thing is first. I asked Jesus to heal her and to help me find some type of answer. Well a couple of days later I found an article in a group like this from moms with kids that have PLEVA.
Avatar n tn Hi there, I have read different quotes of people who have rashes in the genital areas. I started this rash probably six months ago while I was on vacation in Florida. It wasn't much of a big deal. A little itchy here and there to one side of the sack. I didn't pay much attention to it and sometimes I wouldn't notice it for a few days. It began like so many others I seem to read about. In between my thigh and sack. Over the past few months it has gotten worse.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I'm a 30 yo woman who seems to get a HUGE acne cyst every 3-4 months (usually around my nose or else my chin). I tend to have small blemishes and small nodules the rest of the time. I'm getting married in 3 months and am freaking out (and I know that stress doesn't help matters). I am waiting until this cyst heals since I am too embarrased to go to a spa and get a facial when my face has a huge cyst on it.
Avatar m tn luckily, my parents took me to the dermatologist for the 1st time yesterday and I was prescribed solodyn (a pill to take) and two different types of creams for my face, one is for night and one is for day, I took my first pill last night and am going to start on my creams tonight too. I am VERY VERY much hoping that this will work...I miss my old skin SOOOOOO much! Before I broke out badly like this I had mild acne...
