Common Questions and Answers about Acyclovir and acne

famvir

Avatar n tn I have been to the doctor and have taken Ampicillin, metronidazole, Acyclovir, ketoconazole in that order. I recently went to the Dermatoligist and he gave me Cloderm to apply to the infected area. Now it is spreading down the penis. I have also had tingling in my fingers and toes but I'm not sure if that is related. I am also very sensitive to Poison Ivy. Can you help me?
Avatar n tn I take acyclovir daily to suppress cold sores, which are unsightly and a nuisance, occurring every 2-3 months. The doctor told me to return if the pink rash I described ever returned and he could swab it. The tingling/burning/irritation has continued on-and-off.
Avatar f tn However, it is well documented that valtrex and acyclovir perform very similarly. Valtrex is actually converted into acyclovir by the liver, so essentially, the two drugs act the same way in the body to suppress the virus. If acyclovir improves your quality of life, I would stick with it and explain the similarities to your partner - they are well documented and I expect you can find information in scholarly journals that supports the suppressive activity of acyclovir.
4691073 tn?1391700431 t understand if its ob or not he said it doesnt look like it but he is not sure. He just gave acyclovir cream and said me use the valtrex. But I did everything what he said still nothing.:( It doesn't bother me as physical but if its OB so I have to be careful because my partner doesnt have herpes.
Avatar m tn Hi there, like a lot of dermatological conditions they need to be seen. You should see your doctor/dermatologist. They sound like deep cystic acne - which can be helped with oral antibiotics.
Avatar m tn s, after that some blister or boil or acne (because the shape looks like an acne or boil and easily bleeds when scratched or popped, they are sometimes reddish and sometimes looks like a bump on my skin because it does not have a color, these weren't in groups the appear one by one, they weren't itchy or painful unless pressed or scratched) my leg muscles are a bit tired or somewhat exhausted then again i didn't exercise for a month.
Avatar m tn So I had this hookup with someone claiming to be clean and met up on a love hotel, but before that i was stressed out for a month because of studies most days I wake up at 4 am then sleep at 12 am changing my body cycle, so we had unprotected oral sex and protected anal sex with lube *note: I am the insertive part, after that I didn't ejaculate inside but removed the condom then ejaculated outside, afterwards I took a shower and scrubbed up my genitals really hard just to be safe, then 2 day
Avatar n tn Signs and symptoms included vulvovaginitis, increased urination and soreness. I also developed 3 acne-like eruptions after a day with one specifically located on my vulva. These were not painful, did not form any open sores and disappeared within 2 weeks. The yeast infection symptoms subsided within a week. However, last week I started experiencing soreness and stabbing pains in and around the labia majora. This too subsided within 3 days.
Avatar m tn My daughter was diagnosed with Behcet's in 2008. Then in 2009 she contracted herpes (hsv2). She is now having an outbreak of herpes (starting to get under control after 2 rounds of valtrex, back on acyclovir for 2 days) and a flare of Behcet's. Prednisone will make the painful vaginal Behcet's lesions go away but will cause another outbreak of herpes. Does anyone have any suggestions? She's about to leave for a required college trip. Thanks.
Avatar m tn 5 days later I begin to have the tingling sensation in my penis and then 2 days later I still had some of it and my doctor gave me Cephalexin 500 MG 3x a day and Acyclovir 800 MG 3x a day. I noticed the testicles to be hanging for past few says and a bit red. Today is a bit less in them hanging. I've also taken some leaf extract pills and some other herbal pills. On penis or anywhere on it, I have not seen any sores so far or any blisters.
Avatar n tn Ever since all this has happened my body has broken out in acne. I Have bad back and face acne at most of my teen and adult life and during this whole process I've broken out with a big bump behind my neck and on my lip along with face acne that has caused big acne bumps. I am afraid that the bump on my lip is herpes and also on my neck but they look like and feel acne I've had in the past. I also have 1 coldsore on the inside of my cheek.
Avatar f tn My doctor was referring to a study wehre Acyclovir slowed disease progression in HIV by reducing viral load. And so he thought Acyclovir might have a direct effect (even if it is low) on HIV. Maybe he thought that by decreasing viral load antybodies would show up later than in the absence of Acyclovir?
Avatar f tn remind me - isn't your baby on acyclovir for a year? too tired to go back and look through all your prior posts. I really would trust your child's pediatrician. they take neonatal herpes infections very seriously and if they thought this could be herpes, I'm sure that they would've swabbed it by now.
Avatar n tn ve been googling this klebsiella sucker and I have not found many articles about it and it causing acne or pustules. Do you know anything about this? I have read that it causes a really bad pnemonia and that it is common in alcoholics, people with chronic lung disease etc. I wouldn't suggest that I am a raging alcoholic, but I do drink alot so I guess that cannot help. How would I have gotten it on my face? I typically do not shovel human feces in or around my mouth!
Avatar n tn Once and awhile I will get a migraine often accompanied with with a scalp breakout and I stop taking the Acyclovir and lysine until the pain goes away. Then I resume my acyclovir and lysine. I now rarely have any problems. But I always have to go a week once and a while without my Acyclovir and Lysine. Is the herpes virus simply one of my triggers or is the herpes virus the root cause off all my migraines, I don't know. The pain and breakouts are always hemispheric in nature.
Avatar f tn I strongly suspect whatever this virus is, is a cause for IBS/Crohns and weird pseudo-acne breakouts. Acne, after all, requires initial inflammation to create an environment in the pores that invites abnormal strains of p. acnes and staph bacteria into the pores, where usually only good strains of p. acnes live. It might be triggering certain types of acne, too, by initiating lumps or inflammation.
Avatar n tn said she didnt have anything and didnt bother. I was on Valtrex 1gm and taking one daily and I would take 2 when I would see the 'pimple like' things coming back until about a year ago when I switched to Acyclovir 400MG b/c its cheaper. Since then and more so probably the last 6 months, these white pimple things have gotten worse.
Avatar f tn Despite my concern and pleas for further testing He said no and insisted it was acne and gave me medication for that. I went back a month later and got the same response with different meds for acne. He said as long as there was not a cluster of blisters there was no need to test. In the mean time my daughter has had itching around her nose for about 3 months now. This morning I noticed 3 little bumps close together on her nose! She is only 7.
Avatar n tn Few Lesions (pimple like with red base) come and go everywhere in my body (cheeks, forehead, ear pinna, eyelids, chest, arm, forearm...). I have took acyclovir only for 10 days in October and am suffering a couple of lesions coming up and clearing in few days every now and then. This is companied by random itching occurring in different parts of the body without visible lesions, I also felt some shooting pain for a few seconds (rarely) into my penis.
Avatar f tn Researched extensively, tried Resolve Herpes Mineral Detox about 1 year ago. I stopped all suppressive meds (Acyclovir) and took the detox per instructions. No break outs for one year, so I was pretty excited. Just before the detox I was breaking out about once a month, likely due to menopause/hormonal stress. Before that, it was once every 2-3 years. At about the 6 month mark after doing the detox, I began bleeding upon intercourse.
Avatar m tn I use acyclovir to and you must know that it doesnt take effect spontaneously especially the first time your using it. It helps relieve the pain though but might take some time to take effect. Just continue use it and youll see the sore will go away within 3-4 days instead of the usual 7-8 days they take to go away.
Avatar f tn s more about your genes as to how often you get recurrences than anything you are doing as far as diet, stress reduction and exercise. Eating healthy , exercising and keeping stress low are always a good idea but honestly they have little to do with how often you get recurrences :( no reason to stop eating chocolate!! It won't decrease your ob's and if you are anything like me, you eating chocolate is some days what keeps you from stabbing people....
