solodyn

Avatar n tn Solodyn is used for 'acne' and is NOT known for weight loss with it.
Avatar n tn A few years ago I had a horrible case of acne and was put on the Doryx pill for 3 weeks, wash with Brevoxyl 2x day, morning Tazorac topical and evening Duac topical. This combination cleared up all of my acne and dark spots in a month !!! So after two months I weened myself off of the topicals. Everything was fine. About 2 years later, I had another bad breakout. I have really oily skin, lots of white and blackheads and acne scarring (dark spots) resulted from these pimples.
Avatar n tn I had minimal acne (a pimple here and there). went to Derm just to see if i could get skin as clear as possible, biggest mistake of my life right now. He started me with acanya and then gave epiduo a try (acne became bad on my forehead). 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.
Avatar f tn I’m a 26 year old male and have had acne since I was 12. 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.
Avatar f tn 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 (weigh 135lbs). 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.
1094941 tn?1264559085 Hi. I went to the dermatologist and he said it was Perioral Dermatitis. I mentioned to him I also had a rash on my hand and some itching on my legs but he didin't say anything about that. He prescribed Solodyn and the Duac gel. I took the Solodyn for a week and had extreme itching so I called the office and was told to stop that med. The duac gel seems to be working well. Now, my problem is that I still have extreme itching on my neck and legs. My neck is awful!
Avatar n tn I know this is bad, but I self prescribed some meds - my kid had it for acne. Solodyn = Minocycline. Been taking it about 3 days. Will that help. Internet said it was good for UTI and clamidia.
Avatar m tn For the last two years, I have been having a recurring pimple appear on my groin. It usually is red/white and can be irritating and slightly itchy not painful. I have probably been to the Doctor's office twice and to two different Planned Parenthood'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.
Avatar n tn 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 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...
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 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 That is an antibidoic, which can effect your cylcle. That explains why your period was off. Remember, antibidoics can cancel out your birthcontrol making you more succeptible to becoming pregnant.
Avatar m tn HI, I'm a 21 year old guy, I've been with acne for the last 8 years. I went to many specialist and dermatologists through these years and I'm still with the problem. I did alot of creams and tried lots of treatments (such as Blue LED), minaxen pills and even Decutan. Decutan was the most effective. My weight is 76kg. My first course of Decutan was about 2 years ago with a dosage of 40 mg/day. Then acne appeared again few months later after the course was finished.
Avatar n tn Hi. I have been on minocycline since I was 21 (now 29) for acne. I recently went to a new family practice Dr. While I was there he noticed I was on mino and asked how long I'd been taking it. I told him my acne treatment history. He pointed out that my shines were green (look like bruises). He asked how long I'd had those "bruises". I replyed that they'd been there longer then normal. Months maybe.
Avatar n tn m using Benzaderm 10% wash with aloe vera, Tazorac and taking solodyn (minocycline) for acne treatment. Do these products irritate perioral dermatits even more? and what do I do about steroid cream? I can't see my derm until next week and I don't know what to put on my face anymore. Please help!!
Avatar f tn 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 f tn re probably working for your acne and you should be on something to prevent pregnancy, have you looked into other acne treatments? There are a lot of things out there and not all of them cost an arm and a leg to get.
Avatar n tn ask your doctor about solodyn for the red pimples. they are a type of acne that needs an anti biotic. exfoliate exfoliate exfoliate. also for the jock itch and pubic itch. if you all like the sand and warm areas. it might be scabies. nothing to be ashamed of. it is not becuase you are dirty pa and warm beaches is where these critters live. it is more common than you might think. once they are gone you will have itchy itch that you cannot scratch which is a allergic reaction.
Avatar n tn Does accutane effect long bone growth? What type of dosage may have an impact on this? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/244798'>Accutane's Effect Upon Skull Size</a>.
Avatar m tn 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 f tn But I was a good candidate for dermabrasion and got rid of lots of scarring. And as for the psychological aspect of acne - that is just a cop out for not being able to provide a cure. "It's all in your head, honey." I don't buy it. Hopefully Toni 1981 does not have my bad luck. But if she does, then dermabrasion is the light at the end of the tunnel.
Avatar f tn ve only read that acne can be caused by hypothyroidism and that thyroid replacement will help acne. My problem is that my acne started AFTER starting thyroid. The acne is definitely cyclical...I am a 36 year old female still menstruating. The acne is most noticeable right after my period and goes away almost completely for the two weeks after ovulation. This pattern doesn't seem to fit premenstrual acne.
