1142540 tn?1261368153 Hundreds of people have blogged and complained about how the acne drug; Doryx, is linked to losing huge amounts of hair on the scalp. I'm experiencing the same problem. had very thick coarse and pretty hair. Now it's becoming thin stringy and nappy. I am freaking out big time and really sad. I'm 22 years old and my dermatologist has had me on this drug for a couple years and at first this did not happen, now it comes out in clumps and I shed everywhere.
Avatar n tn I am 32 years old and have been prescribed Doryx and a topical acne medication for slight facial and back acne. I have been taking the medication 5-6 weeks and for the past week or so I am noticying hair loss. (roughly double the normal amount of hair I would loose in a day.) My hair is noticably thinning. Could this be a side effect of the medication I am taking? Has anyone else experienced this? On a side note, my skin is now completely clear.
Avatar n tn A few years ago I had a horrible case of acne and was put on the Doryx pill for 3 weeks, wash with Brevoxyl 2x day, morning Tazorac topical and evening Duac topical. 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.
Avatar n tn I’m experiencing the exact same thing. I️ took doxy for acne for four weeks, and I’m losing so much hair. Dermatologist denied that it was the doxy. I️ work out five days a week, I’m 7percebt body fat, and now I’m losing my hair because of this freaking drug. I’m getting a lawyer, so heartbroken over this crap. I’ve bern off of it for ten weeks, and no change in hair loss. The dermatologist doesn’t want to see me, and they laugh to think it’s because of the doxy.
Avatar m tn Hello, I planned on getting STD tested in a few weeks but just completed a ZPACK (azithromycin) for a sinus infection and my dermatologist has put me on 100 mg doryx (doxycycline) for acne. Other then the HIV test should I go ahead and get tested for gono, syph, chla? The reason I ask is that from what I am reading on this forum, often times those antibiotics would clear up those infections. Thank you. This has been a very helpful and informative forum.
Avatar m tn but then i started on cephlexin oral 500 mg...was on it for 20 days...it was almost gone...was happy for a few days...then i ran out of medication and my doc. perscribed doxycycl...and it began to slowly come back...i told him this.. but hes like theres nothing i can do for you...as i was schedualed to see a dermatologist...the derm says i have folliculitus caused by staph...and there is not be.migh guessing at what it cure only treatment...
Avatar m tn (Note) I am also taking an antibiotic from my Dermatologist since March (Doryx) for my acne, and I remember the medicine causing somewhat stomach uneasiness, so is that maybe the cause? Please help me I'm terrified!!!
Avatar f tn Continue with the Yaz. This is a good pill for acne-prone skin as it is not based on testosterone like some others. It will take about 3 months until it's effect is visible. An excellent product is Rosaliac micellar gel by La Roche-Posay which is for skin prone to redness. Metrogel is quite strong. It is normal to have an initial outbreak but if your skin does not start to improve or you feel you are having a bad reaction, speek to your doctor about changing products.
1138687 tn?1548643978 I have had lyme symptoms for more than two years , i was already taking doxy 100 mg / day since last one month for acne , now i doubled the dose hoping to kill any lyme bacteria.
1336893 tn?1275746728 For the past year randomly the areas around my nose and close to my mouth and spread out through some of my beard i get these bumps and redness.
Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar m tn I decided to self medicate with 150 mg Doryx twice a day that I had at the house. Been taking for about six days now. The discomfort just started to go away today on the sixth day. Here are my questions: 1.What are my chances that I caught something and what? 2. Could I have gave it to my wife? 3. Will the Doryx clear up anything I could have caught? 4. How long should I keep taking it? 5.
Avatar f tn What are your ladies thoughts on using acne products with salicylic acid? I have read mixed reviews, saying it's safe and isn't safe. I've been using it, it's in my face wash. What have you ladies been told? Or do you have any other treatment recommendations?
Avatar f tn d have it checked out by a dermatologist. As for the acne, I have PCOS and am constantly dealing with it. I recently started using neutregenia skin id and LOVE it. Consumer reviews show that 80% of women have had positive results from it. It isn't that expensive to try either.
Avatar m tn I am a married man for 13 years. In a moment of weakness, I had oral sex with another man. We did not ejaculate into each other mouth but I did taste pre-cum. About two week later I started getting a discomfort feeling in the end of my penis and urinating more frequemtly. What are my chances of catching something? I performed oral sex on my wife about a week after but there has been no other sexual contact with her.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with the same thing and mine wasn't all that noticeable. I had about 6-8 little dots/zits around my mouth and lips. Most people said it looked like I just had a couple zits, but I knew it was something more since I don't get zits like this, especially on my lips. My dermatologist had me put an oitment in my nostrils twice a day for 7 days (which sucked) and I'm on Doryx or doxycycline at 150mg for 30 days. I'm two weeks in and it's almost undetectable.
Avatar m tn The acne worsened throughout the year into cystic acne on the cheeks when I moved overseas. I lived overseas for a year, then moved back to the states, where all my acne disappeared for two months. It returned again slowly, starting out with a small rash (which went away with Desonide Cream .05%), then milia/whiteheads all over my cheeks, and then red pimples with white pus spreading from my cheeks to my chin now.
Avatar m tn The doctor at my university said I had a yest infection.( I was on antibotics a lot in august and I just started taking more for my acne) He told me its normal for my skin to tear during a yeast infection and looked at the rashes and the entire penis, then came to the conclusion I had no herpes. He told me to use monostat.
689528 tn?1364135841 I don't think your crazy at all! Look at the brand/model and see if you can get reviews on it. Otherwise I'd say go for it! If I had a deal like that when I was pregnant the first time I would have gotten it in a heartbeat IF the brand/model were decent and had good reviews.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am interested in Red light therapy to help improve skin condition and skin aging symptoms, such as to help with sun damage. There are both places you can go for treatment and home units you can buy, they average around $350. Tanning salons are now even offering Red Light beds, so it definitely is becoming kind of a craze. It has also been on Doctor Oz show, though not sure of the reliability of that. I would be interested in a home unit.
Avatar n tn m worried about that too. I have been on Doryx for almost two months for acne and wondering if that has anything to do with it. Sorry to ramble on but this is just so frustrating, its preventing me from being social and going out, I just want to have clear skin. I hate how it will go away and come back all the time. Is this perioral Dermatitis? Rosacea? My skin is extremely sensitive and kind of pale so a lot of blemishes are noticable. What is the best line of action for this?
1238678 tn?1321857976 I am currently waiting on my second lap surgery for my Endo and my doctor has decided to start me on Lupron. I have a lot of worries about this medication but he assures me it will help with the pain. Can anyone that's been on Lupron let me know what you thought of it, and what side effects you experienced/how you dealt with them? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Her information on alternative treatments for better diet and detox are probably good for everyone with or without MS. She makes a big deal of saying that physicians like to say that MS is not curable and that Drs want people on medications for life. Personally, I prefer to say that for now, there is no MS cure, but there are many things which can make having it easier to deal with on a daily basis.
Avatar f tn I personally have not been there. I've been wondering about an MS specialist for myself. I live in Florida and I could probably manage to get to Jacksonville. I always like to hear good things from patience that have seen a doctor before I go, and since you like your doctor, may I ask who you see (as I suppose there are probably a couple there)? I still want to look for someone closer, but I would still like to hear your experience if you don't mind sharing.
7913021 tn?1418048620 How many have tried the primrose oil? Did it work for you or make any changes? I'm 3cm & over 80% effaced. Dr suggested trying it but didn't say how effective it is.
