Avatar n tn 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 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..
Avatar n tn Be sure that you apply sunscreen of at least SPF 30 when staying outdoors when using tretinoin. Do not pick on the red spots and try to observe if these spots appear to worsen with tretinoin use. If itching and scaling over the areas occur , then you may need to have this assessed by your physician prescriber.
Avatar n tn 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).

Avatar f tn Is there a possibility to remove the dark spots in the face after you had pimples? It seems its very dirt in my face and I’ve got irritated. I also have blackheads in my nose and I’m very conscious. Should I consult to a dermatologist? I hope there’s an alternative way in this problem to the less expense.

327405 tn?1223239755 Hi everyone, I'm 32 years old and 32 weeks pregnant with my third child. I've noticed that I'm developing spots that originally looked like freckles but now look like age spots. Did I just get older fast or is it do to my pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Dear doctor! How long can I use Differin (adaferin, adapalene)?
Avatar n tn I noticed the first spots about a year and a half ago on top of my foot. 3 Half an inch dark spots. They have not changed for the year and a half i have had them so i didnt worry. About 6 months ago i suddenly noticed some on the back of my left thigh and buttocks.their are like 12 of them different sizes, no bigger than an inch and a half. I went to a doctor at my university and he said it was probably just extra pigmentation but to go to a dermatologist just in case.
Avatar m tn I started using Differin in May, but I now realize Differin also contains Adapalene. Should I be worried about sun exposure while using Differin/adapaline? I noticed the container says not to use it on sunburns, but nothing about not using it in the sun. I use the cream at night, but I also realize that it's a long term treatment... and as such just because I use it at night, does not mean the sensitivity is gone in the morning/day.

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 m tn I am an 18 year old male and i have dark circle spots on my chest and back. I also have spots on my neck but they're not as dark as the ones on my chest. Some people call it liver spots but i don't know what it is. There's no symptoms to it, it just bothers me.
11803947 tn?1430842645 This week I've noticed that I have a dark spot in between my breast. More towards my left one. Is right in the middle of both if that makes sense. It looks like a dirty spot. I tried to wash it off and nothing. I heard you get some spots like this but does it go away ? Does anyone else have this ?
Avatar n tn m having a hard time get rid of it. (they are black spots). I went to visit my dad and when he notice my situation he gave me a scrub called GRASSROOTS SCRUB. The first time I used it it peeled the patch of the black spots off but it turn it into something just like a scrap where the redness is exposed. It has been 5 days since then, I've put special cream on the wound but it doesnt seems to be going away!!!!!
Avatar m tn have you tried differin its a topical medicine, but its the only thing that did work for me. the doctor perscribed it for me.. and it really works.. the eating healthy thing doesnt work. im really active and eat healthy, but i sweat pretty bad and i get pimples anyways. the natural sometimes wont work. you can also go to walmart and get the face wash called seabreeze. i think thats how its spelled but its the best kind of acne medicine and its the most natural.
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.
1335691 tn?1275733267 Bacteria on the skin feed off this excess oil (sebum) blocking the pores and resulting in spots. The standard treatment for acne is a course of oral antibiotics such as oxytetracycline and a topical retinoid like Differin. Get a prescription for these from your doctor. Elevated androgen levels are common during adolesence and early 20s. They would exist whether or not you masturbated. Best Wishes, Eloise.
