Common Questions and Answers about Differin sun exposure
differin
I was told in my case it was due to sun exposure over the years. I have fair skin and don’t ever lay out in the sun. I burn very easily and I try to avoid. But sometimes just driving in car, the sun hits my neck at times. Was told there’s no cream that will make it go away. There’s laser procedure that can help but it’s very expensive. Was told to just apply sunscreen whenever out doors and avoid the sun hitting it. Was told it can get worse looking as time goes on.
Hi, I have been using differin every alternate nights for 3 months without problems. But just last sun, I rubbed some onto my eyelids and facial rashes started to explode. They were not itchy at first but started to spread and becoming very itchy. My Gp said its contact dermatitis. But how could it be as I have been using it for 3 months? I put hydrocortisone cream on them but nothing seems to subside. Now my whole face is covered with itchy swell rashes. What should I do?
You may discontinue this if you feel it has lead to development of the lesions, instead of any other reasons, such as excessive exposure to dust or use of another new cosmetic product. A choice of such product is usually based on hit and trial and you may have to try out few products before you zero in to the one most suitable for you.
Hope this helped. Let me know if you may need any more information.
Dear doctor! How long can I use Differin (adaferin, adapalene)?
actually sun is very beneficial to both you and baby, you need around 20 min of exposure to the sun everyday on your arms and legs, a little more if your dark skinned, your body gets its vitamin D from being exposed to the sun, otherwise you risk having vit D deficiency which isnt good, and you end up by having to take suppliments, just be sure that you dont go out in the hottest part of the day and if you do put on sunscreen :)

It is possible that you have/had sun poisioning. Any antibiotics will add to the harsh exposure of the sun. That is why they tell you to try to avoid the sun if you can or use a high level of sunscreen if you are out in the sun. If you are not feeling better soon, you should see your doctor. Please be careful while in the sun while on these medications. It can cause some major symptoms not to mention the higher risk of sun burn. Hope you feel better soon.
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...
After moving from Australia to America, I had notice that my arms would get small bumps on them within a few hours of sun exposure that lasted anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on how intense the sun was on the day. These bumps are skin coloured, smaller in size than a dot made by a pen and would itch for a short period upon erupting on my skin but the bumps themselves wont resolve until weeks later.
To prevent solar urticaria in future, desensitization using phototherapy and photochemotherapy are often advised. In this we try to decrease the amount of exposure by gradually increasing exposure to the form of radiation that brings about the reaction.

Just keep your child out from the sun as much as possible. Observe if the rash persists only when there is sun exposure. Other triggers such as food, dust and change in temperatures may cause this. If rash is present in other parts of the body, then we have to consider sweat rash.
Any history of flu or cough?
