My dermatologist diagnosed me as have moderately severe acne and prescribed me Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg 2x a day and Differin Lotion .1%. I know this will take 3-4 months for results to actually show. It's been about a month and I feel like my skin is still purging (still with red pimples and white pus), which is fine with me.
He started me with acanya and then gave epiduo a try (acne became bad on my forehead). Went back to him and he prescribed me epiduo with solodyn. After a few weeks i had tiny red spots on my face and huge pimples. I tried proactive as well and that didnt work. After that i told him the situation over the phone and he said to continue the solodyn with epiduo. i did for another month and nothing happened. He now switced me to cephalaxin and i have been on it for about three days.
My dermatologist has given me a prescription for Doxycycline as well as Epiduo Gel, which was not covered by my insurance and so i was not able to get that. It seems to me that there are some similarities between this antibiotic and Accutane. Maybe not as severe side effects but the overall impression I am getting is that Accutane is more effective and if closely monitored, safer. Is this true? My doctor didnt give me the impression that there was much I needed to be worried about.
I was just wondering if the cause of this was the Epiduo because I do apply it by my nose and on my cheeks around the under eye area(under the eye bag area, around it), and if so what should I do, should I try to apply it farther away from the under eye area because it is migrating over to that area? I was also wondering if these under eye bags were permanent? I also don't moisturize my under eye area or my face would that get rid of the under eye bag?
Three and a half years ago i used Epiduo on my forehead, temples and nose. I did expose to 45 mins of morning sun without spf.
My skin turned red, then brown. The inflamation/irritation still persists. I can feel the skin thicker (like inflamed skin feels like) when i raise my eyebrows. The area looks brown. It becomes more red when i touch it.
Texture on those areas is different and the skin is a little raised.
I've had this one bump beside my lip for almost a month now. This is the first time I got it. The bump used to be bigger. I tried popping it once (only blood came out) then it became smaller (current size). It doesn't hurt even if i press on it, nor fluctuates in size, nor itches, it's just there. I also tried putting on epiduo on it just to make sure if it's a pimple, but it didnt make a difference.
I had gone to the dermatologist for acne issues and she gave me epiduo and a skin bleaching cream for dark spots that the pimples can cause afterwards. I had gotten pimples on my upper lip and instead of putting skin cream on the spot I put it on my whole lip and I think that made it worse cuz I did it almost everyday.

Doxycycline 100 mgm by mouth twice/day for 6 weeks and then once/day for 3-6 months is a common treatment of blepharitis and meibomian gland disease. It is not so much antibacterial as antiinflammatory and gets into the oild gland. That's the reason its also used for acne. There is a new product that is specific for blepharitis but I don't have the details or brand name. None of these cause floaters.
instead, i juz told her my prob and she diagnosed me wif oesophagus reflux(side effect of doxycycline) meanin the acid in my stomach traveled up to my esophagus causing irritation and prescibe me wif anacid.
i read somewhere that if i were to take doxycycline, i must not take anacid because it will lessen the effectiveness of doxycycline.
so, now i'm at a lost again..
I was just diagnosed with lyme disease and will be taking Doxycycline for 30 days. Can anyone tell me if I must avoid dairy entirely or just avoid it a couple of hours before and after taking this antibiotics?
Thanks.
either ceftriaxone (Rocephin) or doxycycline would abort incubating syphilis, and the two together guarantees syphilis would be eradicated.
I suggest you lay off the internet. You're obviously very anxious about all this, and in that state of mind you will only find information to inflame and prolong your fears. All is well; nothing bad is going to come from this.
Does it occur when you're breathing? Are you short of breath?
Hello,
Difficulty urinating in males can be due to urinary retention which can be due to enlarged prostate due to benign prostatic hypertrophy (often called BPH) or infection of the prostate( prostatitis), any blockage in the flow of urine like any scar tissue, injury (as in a car wreck or bad fall), blood clots, infection, tumors in the pelvic region, and stones, infection or due to disruption of the delicate and complex system of nerves that connects the urinary tract with the brain and the ne
see your doctor. and realize that you canNOT treat all STDs and that MDs do NOT have good tests for all STDs. some STDS we just call em when we see them. so they can say "i don't think you have herpes" but then you could have it. unless they do a blood test
and for men, then don't have a test for HPV...
I have been on doxycycline an antibiotic for about 5 days and i seem to be feeling very anxious and panic like. Does anyone know if this can cause these symptoms. I am also on 25mg of zoloft. Thanks for any help you can give me.
I have horrible acne and was prescribed doxycycline. I take orthrotricyclen, does anyone know if they interfere?
where did the pills come from?
Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
I took Doxycycline for 10 days to treat a sinus infection. A week after finishing the Doxy I developed a sore throat and sore tongue. I'm assuming it is a reaction to the drug. How long will this stay in my system and is there anything I can take to alleviate the reaction?
I took single dose of doxycycline everyday for 6 weeks during the summer. Would that have cleared a chamydia infection.
Every so often, my eyelids will be come extremely dry. I first knew something was wrong when I noticed that when I rubbed my eyes, even slightly, little pieces of skin would come off of my top eyelid. This happened when I was putting on my makeup. Throughout the day, my eyelids (my whole face really) felt really heavy, thick, and uncomfortable. When I took off my makeup later in the day, my eyelids were burning, stinging, and incredibly dry.
