I haverecently gone to my primary physician and dermatologist and they tell me it is acne and prescribed benzaclin/ Atralin and sumaxin. Benzaclin seemed to work at first, but now it seems to make my breakouts worse. The other two prescriptions just dont seem to work at all. What could this be?Herpes? I do have herpes, but my doctor tells me it should only be on the lip (I have it next to the lip) it's not noticeable at all.
ve really started to spread. We just went to a dermatologist and he suggested Tazorac. Everything I have read about the topical solution does not seem good! It makes the area inflamed, red, itchy and it does not clear the warts. I'm very concerned for my son and don't want him to be embarrassed at this young age. What should I do?????
The skin on my cheeks seems to be dry right now because of the topical stuff from my dermatologist (retin-a micro gel, used in the morning and left on till night, and benzaclin gel used at night and left on till morning) but normally it feels pretty smooth and kind of soft but also kind of dry. My forehead feels scaly-ish which is probably because of all the imperfections on it but in the summer it is pretty oily and right now in the winter is feels dry and scaly. My jawline is pretty average.
For as long as I can remember I have had small red bumps, almost pimple like, on my thighs and upper arms. I don't hardly ever shave my thighs, and I don't shave my arms, so it can't be that. I have been sitting in the sun for a few days and have a slight tan on my arms etc, and it's still there so sun isn't getting rid of it.
I went to the doctors and all they said was that it was lack of vitimans - which I doubt is true since my eating habits haven't changed....
Every 2-3 weeks, I wax my upper lip. For the past few months, I've noticed that i get the same small spot 1-2 days later on the edge of my upper lip. It's very small, but I notice it now because I expect it to surface when i wax. It's flat with a little swelling, skin colored and just a little red around the edge, never comes to a head and never blisters. I've tried popping it, but there's nothing really to pop. It usually goes away within the week.
Yea, unfortunately it is extremely irritating and drying. You're not suppose to put it on "healing" skin although up until recently I never understood how the body healed and how long it actually took. Unfortunately, I always think of questions after my appointment :p. Anyways, thanks for your input and help. I think this time I'm going to try to let my skin heal naturally and gently. I've used tazorac previous times and the bump just grew back.
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.
Also i have a prescription face medication cream called BenzaClin which is 1% clindamycin and 5% Benzoyl peroxide. Also, i am away at college far from my house so could it be my face isnt use to the water here? Im not sure what else it could be. Does anyone have any ideas of what i can do to help??? Can someone tell me what has helped them get rid of annoying and stubborn pimmples? Pleasee helpppp.. thanks!
Yesterday night both the bottom of my legs gots very itchy. I did itch and then applied benedryl lotion on them. I also noticed that my hair stubles had all of a sudden grown out and that I have some dark reddish to blackish(maybe extremely dark brown) type of scab like marks on my legs. I had actually noticed them a few minutes after the itch attack. The spots are tiny pinprick size and do feel just a little raised. A scab from iching cannot form that quickly.
I've recently went to the doctor and was prescribed Doxycycline and Benzaclin a topical gel which consists of 1% clindamycin and 5% Benzoyl Peroxide it seems that its getting better, I just wanted to know what your opinion was on this?
One doctor prescribed Benzaclin and another doctor referred me to a dermatologist. After scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist and waiting over three months I ended up seeing a PAC and not an actual dermatologist (if that matters).
Unfortunately I lost the notes I had from the visit but she said I had Sebaceous something or the other. She said there wasn't really anything I could do to clear it up. She gave me a Tretinoin prescription for acne in general.
They have also spread to one of my legs and a few on one of my hands. I have been to the dermatologist multiple times and have tried many things; many forms of Tazorac, salicylic acid (moisturizers, cleansers, toners), all kinds of anti-aging medications (i mean ALL kinds), apple cider vinegar, no make-up, aloe vera, ect ect ect. I've tried everything and anything other than surgery. I still have all of them and more.
I am currently taking benzaclin and erythromycin gel at night and Evoclin foam in the day. I also tweeze and wax the hairs. I was wondering if tretinoin cream would help prevent ingrown hairs due to increased epithelial cell turnover?
I know laser treatment would be most beneficial but cannot afford it at the moment. What can I do in the meantime to help prevent ingrown hair and pimples in the hair follicle?
t help to get rid of the ones I have. After 6 weeks of using what she prescribed me I went to the dermatologist again and with her and me not being happy with the results she prescribed me tazorac gel 0.05% 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.
Ive had jock itch for a while now, but recently ive had intensely itchy rashes on my foreskin as well. The rash is made of small bumps and lines that swell when i scrath them, and they appear to be filled with pus. The rash appears for about a week, then disappears for a week. This cycle repeats itself. When the rash on penis appears, the outer ring of my jock itch gets inflamed as well. I have never had sex, nor have i had any sexual/intimate contact. Nobody in my family has stds.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
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.

I am using the same cleansing products and the only make-up I wear is lipstick and eye-liner. I saw a P.A. yesterday who prescribed Benzaclin but she really didn't know if this was going to be helpful because it itches and doesn't appear to be acne. Even the pharmacists didn't think this would work. This started about a week ago and has become progressively worse.
my doc told me that it will be gone he gave us betasalic cream and we used it for a week and he said us to stop and to use just a mustela body cream please isnt there any cream it can be gone or is there any possibility that it will go in his youth?
ı am so worried i am so depressed what is this and what can be done?

I have been experiencing menopause-like symptoms such as night sweats and hot flashes for years and decreased libido and vaginal dryness for the last year. That last one is what brought me in to my gynecologist two and a half weeks ago. He said that my symptoms sounded like those you would see in a woman with estrogen and testosterone imbalances BUT based on his physical exam, it looked like my estrogen level (at least) was just fine. (Apparently my labia look like I have plenty of estrogen.
