Dear doctor! How long can I use Differin (adaferin, adapalene)?
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.

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...
Other differentials will be skin tags. Flat warts may be treated with cryotherapy or tretinoin. You may discuss this with your dermatologist. Flat warts usually occur on the face and they may readily spread through shaving or frequent skin to skin contact.
I suggest that you try to minimize shaving. However, doing so may not readily stop them from spreading. Treatment with the therapies mentioned above may be the best way to prevent their spread.

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%?
He gave me differin and it worked ok.While i was using the differin i was working all summer long outside and usually wore a hat.Well two years later ever since my forehead is my natural skin color which is pale.The rest of my face is very red.I have very oily skin and my skin breaksout if i put lotion or toners on it usually.Is there any advise on how to get my skin to even out and get this redness to go away.Please help.
s been using prescription strength Retin-A for several years on her face and there is a very noticeable difference in the condition of her skin on her face vs. her neck or decolletage where it isn't applied. I have complimented her facial skin on a few occasions and she always says it's because of Retin-A. On the other hand, I've been using Boots, which isn't the same concentration of prescription strength.
I was recently prescribed a tretinoin cream by my dermatologist. Ive been noticing that ive had a very noticeable white upper lip area with a little bit of redness right below my nostrils. It even shows through my makeup. I have no idea why it looks like this and the only thing i can think of that could be causing it is the cream. Could it be sun exposure? I religiously use sunscreen. I read on another site that it could be my diet but i doubt it. I eat low calorie and low carb and drink water.
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.
Along with this one can also use a mild keratolytic such as 2-3% salicylic acid ointment or tretinoin cream. Lactic acid,
urea, adapalene or tazarotene are also recommended in certain cases. Eucerin plus with AHA helps in exfoliation and moisturization but it is pretty mild. Cerave is just a moisturizer which would
be as good as Eucerin. Cetaphil again is a moisturizer with no exfoliation . I would recommend the use of a mild keratolytic as mentioned above.
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.
The best topical lotion in my opinion is Differin. It can be as effective as topical Isotretinoin but is usually much better tolerated, with little or no redness and peeling.
It is even more effective when used in conjunction with oral antibiotics.
I have taken Accutane twice (20% of patients require a second course) with good results, please see my photos in my profile. I am happy to discuss any concerns you have about this drug.

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?
I used Obagi RX for about a year. That's how long it took me to go through a box that cost about $250. It works wonderfully for brown spots. It has a C-serum to be used during the day, with an exfoliate, and then at night a bleach cream with hydroquinone is used. I obtained it from a spa that is associated and located adjacent to my dermatologist's office. Wonderful stuff. I can't begin to tell you how great my skin looks.
Hello,
Although many topical preparations have been tried like betadine, Australian lemon myrtle,tea tree oil , tretinoin and Methisazone but their use is limited and without full proof results.The best method of treatment of molluscum is excision,cautery,cryosurgery by liquid nitrogen and laser removal.cryosurgery and laser are painless and the lesions heal well in 2-3 weeks.
I sincerely advise you consult a dermatologist and get it excised.
Hope it helps.
Although no treatment is required, you can choose to apply Tretinoin gel or cream to the affected areas each day. This can reverse the effects of the condition over time and prevent it from getting any worse. To get the best results from Tretinoin you should use it along with alpha hydroxy acid agents which are normally used to treat acne.
You can use Accutane if the condition persists.
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.
