Avatar f tn I am a 25 year old female. I am on isotretinoin for acne. But recently my general physician prescribed vitamin B-complex supplements for other health problems. Is it safe to take vitamin B-Complex capsules with isotretinoin? I am not any other medication.
Avatar n tn I agree- I dont think think a lack of vitamins would cause acne- but it doesnt hurt to take vitamins just for healthy living! I use and love proactiv. I'm a 24/f and I also suffer from breakouts and proactiv works really well. Try drinking a lot of water too- it really helps clear up your skin! I know accutane works- but I also know a lot of people who have suffered some adverse reactions from it. i would search www.adverse-drug-reaction.
Avatar f tn Have you sought the assistance of a dermatologist for any prescription medications, either topical or oral? If you're able to visit a dermatologist, that should be your first step. Also a licensed aesthetician will treat your skin and teach you about good skin care. You should look to support your internal health, too. Drinking plenty of water will help to keep your pores clean from the inside out, help eliminate toxins, and keep your skin moisturized.
Avatar f tn I've been using a moisturiser that contains less than 3% salicylic acid for acne. Would this affect fertility? The reason I am asking is because DH and I are TTC and we haven't had any luck in the past 3 cycles. We got pregnant immediately (seriously, within a week I knew I was pregnant) with our first child. I never used the moisturiser before because I didn't have acne but my last pregnancy really messed up my skin BIG TIME.
Avatar f tn The most natural acne treatment for is dieting. Minimize eating on fried foods, caffeine, chocolate, carbonated drinks, salt, wheat, and even milk can make acne worse. It's better to eat more vegetables and fruits instead of salty or sugar packed foods. It is also recommended to increase your vitamin A, zinc and Vitamin B6 levels in your body. And you may also take some supplements, but by consuming foods that are high in these three vitamins will drastically help your skin condition.
Avatar f tn A common treatment for cystic acne is Isotretinoin, which cures most acne in about 90% of patients. In sever cases a course of oral antibiotics are also recommended. After cysts have mostly healed, macules, or "pseudo scars" may form. Macules are red patches of skin, sometimes raised slightly, where cysts used to be, and may resemble cysts in their appearance.
Avatar m tn is it ok to take vitamins such as vitamin B complex, vitamin C or vitamin E for a hepatitis b patient?just to boost immune sytem. is there any vitamins that are really recomended for HBV patients like me?
Avatar f tn In some cases iron supplemenation is a good idea (if your hemoglobin is low), and extra calcium is also a good idea. The recommended calcium intake for a pregnant woman is 1300-1500mg. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Afew days after the injections my face broke out in what looks to me like acne. How long will it take for the Bvitamins to leave my system and will the spots go away?
Avatar f tn Hi everyone! I'm looking for natural remedies like supplements and vitamins that are best for combatting it. I've heard saw palmetto and licorice helps, but I wanted to know what you ladies use personally and what works best. I have hirsutism, terrible acne and I am overweight. I also believe I am prediabetic, as my grandmother on my father's side had diabetes and my mother, so it runs in both sides of the family.
Avatar f tn 9 weeks along and I've been breaking out like there's no tomorrow. I use to break out like this before I started my period. I'm only assuming it's from my hormones and/or the vitamins I'm taking. Either way, I disapprove.
Avatar n tn Now I have persistant and large acne on my cheeks and jawline, including cystic acne. The acne is ever present and not just once a month. My current dermo (not the one who proscribed Accutane) tells me that it's hormonal (I believe this) and that I will just have to deal with it for the rest of my life (I don't want to accept this). She does Cortosone injections on occasion for the cysts because I cannot, for the life of me, leave my face alone.
Avatar f tn I am currently 18 years old and have been taking amoxicillin for approximately two years as prescribed to me by my dermatologist to help treat my acne. It has done wonders for my skin but I have been feeling depressed and almost never happy. I researched a bit to find that many parents have issues with their toddlers and younger children having mood swings and depressive behaviors after taking the antibiotic but no anecdotes about older children.
Avatar f tn I have tried acne products from a to z, herbal vitamins, regular vitamins, changing my diet, have done hours of research on acne, and have tried hormon regulaters. I have a doctors appointment coming up I will post what they tell me and the options they give me.
10028419 tn?1416841704 Im guessing its my hormones from the pregnancy and maybe my vitamins because biotin has always broke me out. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do or what can help my problem? I use Olay cleanser and I recently stopped using my clean and clean moisturizer cause I felt like it was making it works. Help!!
Avatar m tn Can some of you seasoned vets tell me what Vitamins would be recommended for someone on day 45 clean??? 35 year old male........I got so many different ones from the early stages I don't know what the heck to take any more.... Thanks all!
Avatar n tn There is no real cure for acne but there are many effective treatments which can control it until you are no longer prone to spots. I find over the counter remedies of limited benefit but the most useful one, in my view, is Freederm. Better though to ask your doctor for a course of oral antibiotics- oxytetracycline is usually more effective than erythromycin.
Avatar f tn ve suffered pretty bad back acne for years now, and I was wondering if back acne (especially cystic type) can lead to swollen lymph nodes? Specifically, the persistent swollen node I am referencing is the supra-vascular. Thanks!
Avatar m tn This may pinpoint what nutritional values you are lacking in your diet. Sometimes simple multi-day vitamins appropriate for your body type/age will help bring your levels into check. You may also want to take vitamins geared towards skin health, immune system, and blood cells. Also, make sure you're drinking plenty of water and eating a healthy diet. Water will flush your skin and organs of toxins that may be causing the acne.
Avatar n tn I am wondering what suggestions people have for organic prenatal vitamins. Where do you get them for the cheapest? I was thinking of Amazon prime.
Avatar f tn I'M 27W AND I HAVEN'T TAKEN MY VITAMINS SINCE I WAS 15W. THEY MAKE MY STOMACH HURT AND I STAY CONSTIPATED. WILL MY BABY BE OK IF I DNT TAKE THEM OR SHOULD I START BACK.
Avatar f tn Engage in a diet that is low in sugar and fat but is rich in vitamins. This prevents acne by preventing the buildup of excess oil on the skin. Also refrain from touching or squeezing your shoulder acne. Also try to keep your hair free of dandruff by using good antidandruff shampoos You can also apply benzoyl peroxide creams or clindamycin cream on the acne. If the symptoms persist, then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist then.
Avatar f tn I had severe acne and it occasionally still flares up. I was so self conscious going to xmas parties that I had my fiancé put concealer and makeup on my back acne. My dr said it was hormones. I kept telling myself that I could be a lot worse (I only had a little nausea my first 9 weeks and no vomiting) and tgat it will pass (someday lol). My dr recommended using a gentle cleanser such as cetaphil and to stay away from high fragrant soaps, etc.
Avatar f tn The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for iodine is 150mcg daily. The RDA is not for optimal health but to prevent obvious disease states such as rickets, scurvy, or a goiter for instance. The Tolerable Upper Limit (TUL) of iodine intake is 1100 mcg. Most people can tolerate at least 1000 mcg of iodine daily without adverse effects but those with autoimmune thyroid disease may tolerate less than this. Too much iodine produces a condition called iodine induced hyperthyroidism.
Avatar m tn You can take this, however, recommend you choose a multi-vitamin that has the vitamins and minerals closer to the recommended daily levels. For your age any multi-vitamin with iron is fine. We should be getting all our vitamins and minerals from our food sources.
