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). If you think no, then try just using the cream without the antiobiotics. If you are seeing your skin remain clear with just the cream, continue using that.
The second dermatologist has told me my skin is red and in order to prevent scarring, to apply the following in addition to the Differin at night:
Morning: Clindamycin, then Hydrocortisone Cream 2.5%
Night: Differin, then Hydrocortisone Cream 2.5%
Continue with Doxycycline 100mg 2x day
I've read various reviews on using hydrocortisone cream for the face with people stating it thins out your skin and worsens acne symptoms.
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.
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...
I got Differin from the doctor and used it for 6 months with no results. Is he to young to start to serious ritual? He is adopted and his birth mom has very serious acne. He is very worried about all these pimples. He started getting them at nine. The doctor told me they aren't really acne but I forgot what he called them so I could look them up.
It seems that antibiotics are the ONLY thing that cure my acne since I have really oily skin. The topicals dry it out in the beginning, and I only apply a little, but then my sebaceous glands quickly make up for the lack of oil. I always keep it well moisturized with noncomedogenic lotion but by noon I look like a grease monkey :-(
Any help would be great !!!!

Reactive arthritis is an autoimmune condition that develops in response to an infection in another part of the body.
I would suggest consulting a physician and getting ANA titres and MRI to confirm the diagnosis.If ruled out ,then other possibilities like chronic hepatitis,pernicious anemia,yellow fever and other chronic infectious diseases have to be probed.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
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?
Hi,
I have suffered with extremely oily acne prone skin since I was a teenager-I'm now 42. What I use in the evening is Serious Skin Care's glycolic cleanser with dry hands and dry face, rinse, and then follow cleansing with the Daily Ritual Cleanser also by Serious Skin care with a wet face and hands. After cleansing with both cleansers I apply Nature's Cure for Females 5% benzoyl peroxide to my entire face. I also take the Nature's Cure pills AM and PM.
It is caused by a virus (parvovirus B19). This disease tends to occur in the winter and spring but can occur year-round. The disease can cause a low-grade fever, headache, sore throat before the appearance of rash. The earliest specific sign of the disease is often bright red cheeks thus called slapped cheeks disease. Sometimes the child may have sore joints with the rash.
