It has now been three weeks post-accutane, and I am starting to get more and more whiteheads. Not the big inflamed whiteheads I used to get but it looks like things are returning. My dermatologist prescribed retin a micro. I was really hoping accutane would finally be the answer and am reluctant to start another treatment that is said to cause initial breakouts and red, irritated, and peeling skin.
Extremely sensitive skin- adverse reactions to salicylic acid and anything higher than a 2% benzoyl peroxide. Have tried differin, retin-a, duac, also natural solutions such as tea tree oil, lemon, honey, coconut, eggs, yogurt, witch hazel. Also have tried systems such as proactiv and muriad to no avail. Have completely overhauled my diet- hardly any sugar, no white/ refined starches, very little dairy, no red meat, lots of veggies, lots of water. No caffine, little to no alcohol.
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...
ive got whiteheads under the foreskin on my penis. they've been there for ages now i wash it twice a day ive scrubbed them but i cant pop them because it stings too bad is there anything else i can try or are they just going to be there for ever?
The areas start out very much like a hive (red, blotchy, extremely itchy skin), but, unlike hives, end up leaving a red papule with the occasional white center that stick around for days to weeks. To provide some context, this all started after seeking treatment for mild acne (whiteheads on my forehead and extremely oily skin) about 3 years ago. The dermatologist I saw then prescribed Ziana gel, which worked relatively well (never completely cleared the whitehead problem, though it helped).
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%?
Hi, I have a problem thats seems to have me worried. I have these small whiteheads on the base and pubic hair region. I recently developed these whiteheads; before they were never there. They dont hurt or anything but for me its just an unpleasant sight. I do shave my pubic area occasionally and im not sure if its from my razor irritating my skin thus causing whiteheads or what.
I have only had one sexual partner for 4 years and been faithful the whole time.
Eight years ago I had a rash around my lip that I treated with a steroid cream, which then caused Perioral Dermatitis. My dermatologist gave my minocyline for 1 month and metro cream which completely cleared it up. Three months ago the dermatitis came back, I was not using any steriod cream at the time, but I believe it flared because of a new concealer I was using to cover a little redness around my nose.
Ok so I have a couple whiteheads on my nipples that have been there, in the same place for as long as I can remember. I pop them often, whenever I wash I pop them and they are just like whiteheads, yet they haven’t gone away in years. I have no clue why it’s now that I’m realizing that this isn’t normal but should I be concerned and just live with nipple whiteheads my whole life??
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.
I have never developed a painful, blistering outbreak. I do have 2 red bumps that look like whiteheads on the bottom of the head of my penis. I have had tingling sensation there for the last 5 months. I have been on daily Valtrex for about a month. Is this normal for hSV2? I thought the sores blister then go away. I appreciate any feedback.
I recently engaged in unprotected sex, and the day after my pubic region became sore and i noticed dozens of whiteheads appearing under the pubic hair. In more detail, my partner had very wet orgasms, and as it turned out, it was too late for me to get home and take a shower before work, so all I did was wipe off. This is not my first time with this partner, but I never had any effects before. The whiteheads pop easily, but seem to reform quickly. This is my third day after intercourse.
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.
Hi, I am 19 and from the UK.
First of all I would like to say that my skin has been near perfect all of my life, during my early teens I didn't even have a blemish but for some reason my skin has grey gone down hill.
When I was younger about 16 I had to have testosterone (spelling?) injected because I was underdeveloped and to a certain extent I am now. But during this period of my boost through puberty I didnt have one spot.
hi there i read the comment that people have wrote ta you bout these whiteheads. i have had them 4 ages and i getting worried about them is there anything to put on them at all. Is it due to masterbation or is it a common thing for a boy to have. I was worried about telling my fiance i told her it was common to have them i am well embarressed about it. thanks for your help jake201

looks like whiteheads on my scrotum, are they?
I really dont think its eczema, I have excema and I know what it looks like. These look like mesquito bites with whiteheads on them and if you pop the whiteheads puss comes out.
Ok I posted a question yesterday about having itchy red bumps with whiteheads on them on my thighs butt and vaginal area. The answer I got was that it was possibly eczema, but I know its not eczema because I have eczema and I know what it looks like. These bumps look like mesquito bites with whiteheads on them and if you pop them puss comes out. This has been going on for about 2 weeks.
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.
