I have had acne red marks, not scars, that just won't go away. I've had them for about 2 years now and have tried products such as Differin & Atralin with no avail.
Is there any other solution?
Thank you, Doctors!
=/ i feel the same thing with you... bieleve me... i heard many good thing for snail cream espesially for acne and scars and i will try it for my scars and me... you can try it... you can also try a microdermabrasion,,, i suggest you epidermx II from internet. i went to dermatologist many times... the same and the same... i will try this 2 i said to you...
Your not walking around with scars due to acne. Its not even like I squeeze or do anything. Topicals just destroy my skin. I may as well bleech my skin. I have had enough.
I have gone to dozen of doctors, they wont prescribe it, its not their face, they don't care so, I will take matters into my own hands. If I get suicidal or act like a crazy person or my hair thins or balds, I will stop immediately. I have to try this.
it says its for rosacea but doest oracea work to kill acne to or no?and the differin gel 0.3% isnt this not as strong drying to dry up pimples as retin a micro 0.1%?why do you think he changed everything i dont wanna break out more for this stuff im thinking of calling the office friday and asking him but hes always so busy..do you think this is a good change or bad and why.im trying to uunderstand how the differin gel 0.3% not as strong as the retin a mico 0.
He provided me with some antibiotics and a gel called Differin.. Which is supposed to dry out your pimples and anything else concerning the " acne"..
As I used the differin I did not notice any changes in the rash.. I went back after a while and my doctor decided to give me prednison for a week.. Which did ok.. the rash disappeared only to come back less than a week after finishing the prednison treatment..
Im not a doctor, however i have taken Differin and i would advise taking it constantly until the prescription runs out. Once it runs out, assess your skin- do you really need to keep taking it?? If this answer is a yes, refill the prescription and keep taking the Differin(In relation to taking it "permanently", i recommend doing this self- assessment everytime you fill the prescription, no matter how long you have been using it).
Ok so I have been prescribed differin gel for "acne" problems. I recently had a huge one with deep cyst (when i touch it i can feel hardness under the skin)...then it formed a white head and oozed a lot of pus (and some blood) after which it stopped being painful. My question is can I still keep on applying differin gel on top of the acne even though it's "broken" skin? The differin seems to help calm the inflammation pretty quick and dry it out...
Since I turned 25, I started getting pimples here and there. The acne worsened throughout the year into cystic acne on the cheeks when I moved overseas. I lived overseas for a year, then moved back to the states, where all my acne disappeared for two months. It returned again slowly, starting out with a small rash (which went away with Desonide Cream .05%), then milia/whiteheads all over my cheeks, and then red pimples with white pus spreading from my cheeks to my chin now.
Hello,
Differin topical containing adapalene, is used for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris. A thin film of the gel should be applied, avoiding eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. It should help you and you should use it as prescribed. Also avoid using any lotions and creams over the face for the meantime. Wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your face dry.
Accutane has many potential side effects but this must be balanced against the fact that it provides the best chance of long term remission from acne. However, as your son may outgrow his tendancy for acne as adolesence passes, I agree this should be considered only if his acne continues after other treatments have been fully explored.
Which antibiotic and creams has he tried? Erythromycin has a high resistance rate and oxytetracycline is usually preferable.
Steroids can actually make acne worse so if you are prone to spots talk to your doctor about a better way to maintain clear skin. As Vanessa says, oral antibiotics such as oxytetracycline can be useful. Dermatologists have found that the best prescription acne gel is Differin. Differin is especially effective when used in conjunction with oral treatment such as antibiotics or anti-androgens (for females only).
I have really oily skin, lots of white and blackheads and acne scarring (dark spots) resulted from these pimples. I was prescribed the same treatment that had worked so well before (minus the Doryx) but of course it didnt work one bit this time.
I was then prescribed Differin and Finacea..no results
Abt two months ago, I was prescribed Solodyn, I use neutrogena creamy wash, Retin-A and some hydroquinone for the dark spots. The solodyn make me break out in a HEAP of HIVES !!
Acne scars and scars in general will fade over time. Many times we worry about marks on our skin and think everyone notices them or looks at them, when it is only us who pay attention to these "imperfections" we have. Truthfully, no one else really cares about the small scars everyone has, as no one has perfect skin. Plus, if the picture you have up is you, you can't notice a thing and you look pretty. I am being honest.
i also wash face with mild cleanser and apply moisturizer, after apply moisturizer on my nose still becomes more oily. I went to see the dermatologist and he given me the differin cream, differin also make my nose oily and did not stop the oil production,which is also not helping, i very hopeless right now. please help with my oily nose.
Both girls and boys have androgens inside of them. It is also caused by the acne bacteria which some people have in their skin and others don't. Diet has not been proven to affect acne.
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.
