Avatar f tn I’ve been using prescription strength differin gel for acne for many years, and would like to add a retinol moisturizer to my skincare routine for anti-aging benefits. Would like to know if the combination is safe?
1632818 tn?1299941302 She told me to buy some cetaphil cleanser and gave me a sample, and then she prescribed me differin which she said was for my "acne". I found this strange since I only had one pimple on my chin, and that's about as bad as it ever gets (and I wasn't bothered by having a pimple). I clarified that my problem was that my skin was sensitive, sore and feels like its burning after washing, and asked if differin would dry out my skin.
Avatar m tn Do not pop spots or blackheads. This seldom improves their appearance and will spread the bacteria under the skin causing future breakouts. There are many scrubs and masks on the market which can improve the appearance of blackheads. If they are of limited benefit to you, ask your doctor about Differin gel. This is a topical retinoid which contains Adapalene 0.1%. It works deep into your pores and is effective at clearing both acne and blackheads. Eloise.
Avatar n tn Is it normal to have such a reaction and if so, how can I help this heal, and how long will it probably take? By the way, I stopped applying the Differin when I got the reaction. Thanks.
Avatar f tn 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).
Avatar m tn he put me on oracea 40mg once a day and differin gel 0.3%....i was reading the paper that comes with oracea~doxycycline and it says it doesnt kill bacteria now im getting worried because minocycline does kill bacteria now im worried i will break out more from the oracea.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%?
Avatar f tn Is it safe to use moisturizer on your nipples.
Avatar f tn 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...
Avatar n tn I am experiencing similar situatio after enjoying years of acne free face. I have tried everything humanly possible but I guess once its severe acne one has to limit expectations. Anyway,i am currently on Tab Azithromycin and topical benzoyl peroxide switched occasionally with topical retinoid at night. I use sebamed clear face gel as moisturizer cause it's oil free and irritant free,the last and most important thing is i avoid sun like it's a plague.
4274823 tn?1388529098 Can anyone suggest a gentle, natural skin moisturizer? I have dry, sensitive skin in part due to hypothyroidism and in part due to the early onset of winter in Canada.
Avatar n tn Hello, For sensitive skin and slight rosacea, you can use Cetaphil moisturizer or Cetaphil cleansing lotion. Even products of Aveeno and Eucerin lotion. Also for rosacea, avoid the sun and hot weather, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot beverages. Also try to reduce stress as it may precipitate attacks. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
1464658 tn?1298788480 Hello, A moisturizer which is non perfumed, hypoallergenic and is absorbed easily is a good moisturizer. Vaseline, Aveeno lotion are all good moisturizers which can be used on face. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn But my doctor prescribed me to apply mometasone furoate and fusidic acid cream twice a day for 3 days and no moisturizer with a Cafadroxil Tablet.

Please help and let me knw that is use of mometasone furoate and fusidic acid cream is good fpr post laser resurfacing treatment without moisturizer??????
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I did not say that moisturizer would kill or not kill the sperms. I suggested that you should search on the mechanism of conception so that you will be confident that the situation is not appropriate foe conception.This understanding will create confidence and you will feel relieved. Understand the process of conception.Google this sentence.
492921 tn?1321289896 When I was pregnant last year my face was really dry and I went to the mall and got a bunch of different samples of moisturizers tried about 10 different ones and every one made my face kind of sting after applying it. Once I had the m/c I could use any moisturizer and none bothered my face. I have been using the same moisturizer for the last 8 months with out any problems. Both times today that I have applied it my face started to sting just like last time I was pregnant.
Avatar m tn My penis became so dry for few weeks. Then penis head have a small red spot from pilled off. And penis Sulcus area is so dry and have some cracks and really red. I haven't had sex over a year so I know it is nothing to do with STD. I do masterbate every day or so. Can someone tell me what is causing it and how to heal that dryness and cracks?
Avatar m tn I messed with it a little bit, and the next day it had swollen up and was warm, like an infection. Since then, I have been using Abreva and Differin on it. The Differin makes the largest difference – it reduces the size significantly. When it first showed up, it looked a lot like this picture: http://www.adamjbc.f2s.com/dlc/test/Photo-0171.jpg. It no longer has a white tip, and there are two small bumps (neither red nor painful) below it.
Avatar f tn Hi I've recently been using differin gel, but about a week ago I started breaking out bad and decided to take a week long break from the gel to heal my skin. I was wondering if taking a week long break was a good idea or not?
8691340 tn?1415127741 also get the aphogee balancing moisturizer. .. amd yes during pregnancy yor hair can get dull, damaged and ugly.. and for best results take your prenatals and a vitamins for yourself too...
Avatar n tn Then the extra skin fell off after 2 days (and a lot of moisturizer), and now it looks normal again, except for a tiny cut like thing, that might have been a crack from the dry skin. The cut doesn't hurt. I have had some unprotected oral prior to the event, and one unprotected blowjob when the skin looked shiny and red. I have a couple of questions: 1) Is this herpes? There is no pain or anything except when the skin was cracked and I put moisturizer on. No bumps or any of the symptoms.
