Avatar m tn Hello, Fusidic acid and minocycline are both antibiotics which are used for the treatment of acne. 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 n tn Hello, Do not use any alpha hydroxy acid products (those containing glycolic or lactic acid), salicylic acid products, retinoids (Retin A, Renova, Differin and Tazorac) and other topical acne medications such as benzoyl peroxide for 72 hours after the treatment. Also any scarubbing or acne soaps should be avoided for atleast 1 week after the miscrodermabrasion procedure.
Avatar f tn What are your ladies thoughts on using acne products with salicylic acid? I have read mixed reviews, saying it's safe and isn't safe. I've been using it, it's in my face wash. What have you ladies been told? Or do you have any other treatment recommendations?
Avatar n tn azelaic acid 20% cream; salicylic acid 1–2% cream or gel; alpha hydroxy acid preparation; trichloroacetic acid 10–20% peel. You can visit a Dermatologist as to which treatment is suitable for you. Keep me informed if you have any queries. Bye.
Avatar n tn local treatment with azelaic acid, salicylic acid, topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide. Mild papulo-pustular (inflammatory) acne: benzoyl peroxide or topical retinoids, topical antibiotics (such as erythromycin). Moderate inflammatory acne: benzoyl peroxide or topical retinoids combined with oral antibiotics (tetracyclines). Isotretinoin is an option.
Avatar f tn Afterwards, soak the thin toothpick in the acid then place tip inside the acne hole for only a few seconds. Immediately neutralize with baking soda and water! It should "frost", turn white and your hole will appear larger. Put Aquaphor over it. It will scab and fall off in about 5 days. Do NOT pick scab or it will make worse. The next day or during the healing process there may be a little sebum that comes out. I squeezed it out, but do not dislodge scab.

Avatar f tn I too am breaking out, luckily for me I am an esthetician.. I use all murad products and they work really well for me. I use an exfoliating acne treatment gel as well as a clarifying mask a couple times a week. It really works for me. If you want to try it out you can purchase the acne kit and test it out. It is a lot cheaper than purchasing these two products and that one comes with 4 products. It is a 30 day trial kit.
Avatar m tn If I stop taking it now without completing the course of treatment, will my acne probably return right away, or will it probably not return at least for some time now that it seems to be under control? I would much rather have the acne than stomach pain and increased acid reflux, so is there any problem with stopping taking it part-way through the treatment if I think it might be causing these symptoms?

Avatar f tn Yep I has 1% salicylic acid.
Avatar m tn Mild-medium acne scarring which I've had several years after acne as a teenager has been resolved. They appear as very small brown dots throughout my face (Cheeks Primarily). There is no feel to the touch (skin is smooth now), purely aesthetic. I previously received chemical peels (I believe salicylic acid) via an esthetician. 3 layers would be applied (at max) which I opted for. Subsequent to receiving these treatments, I would have severe facial skin cracks on my entire face.
Avatar n tn i have acne on my back.. it is very inconvenient.. please can someone give me a solution for it..
Avatar f tn Salcura antiac* look it up on Google x
Avatar m tn Hi, I went to see my doctor and she said it is Melasma. Gave me a cream called "Skinoren Cream - Azelaic Acid 20%". I read the description inside the box and it says Skinoren is used for acne. I know I don't have acne and even doctor didnt tell me anything about acne. Would this cream help get rid of Melasma? Should I start using it for 3 months, as doc recomended? If not any alternative that I can find in UK?
Avatar m tn So I was reading and read that salicylic acid can help reduce warts.. and as it takes a while to be seen by my local std clinic for treatment I opted for another treatment.. I recently started putting some neutragena salicylic acid acne treatment on the couple of bumps and I don't know if it's me not looking so hard and close or if it's working, but they seem to reducing in size and number. I only visibly notice 3 or 4 now when it was close to 7 or 8.
