Avatar f tn I have severe crohns disease. For the last 3 weeks, I have been in severe pain, had diarrhea 4-5 times a day, I can barely eat. I actually have to force myself to eat.I have lost 30 pounds in the last 3 weeks. I bought a bunch of ensure drinks, so I can at least continue to get vitamins. I'm in a new city so don't have a Dr yet, the only meds I'm on is suboxone for my pain management.
Avatar m tn What can be done for the extreme acne caused by all these hormonal issues. My daughter never really had acne in her life and recently tested with higher then normal testosterone which the doctor has attributed to this severe acne condition. We purchased proactive but she has a reaction to that. I just purchased Mario something or other and it doesn't seem to be working. any ideas?
Avatar f tn Infrequent re-action to the drug is severe acne flare, raised blood glucose level, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fatigue. Considering your skin's pre-disposition to form scars please make a careful, informed decision. ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotretinoin.

Avatar f tn I am a 19 year old teenager facing severe hormonal acne. I have been to a dermatologist a couple of times and have taken several kind of medications. I have also tried to completely fix my diet through drinking detox water, avoiding fatty acids and eating healthy. My acne has become resistant to treatment and isn't improving and I am worried about the scars. The treatment includes isotretinion, topical clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide and retinoids.
Avatar n tn Yes, I had mild acne when I was younger and my dermatologist gave me Accutane, a few months later I was in severe abdominal pain, fever, very weak and ended up in the emergency room originally diagnosed with appendicitis only to find out my appendix was perfect at which point they found the diseased portion of the small intestine and diagnosed me with Crohn's. Initially, I had frequent flare ups and was constantly under medication, but slowly and with the help of the Famous Dr.
Avatar n tn I used to have really bad acne until a couple weeks ago; I started drinking more water and all of the bumps went away. But now, my face is constantly red and I have these red, flat, blotchy spots everywhere. Some days are worse than others, it's like it will flare up sometimes. My mom and I researched it and were convinced it was rosacea, but I went to a dermatologist and she said it was acne scars and put me on all of this treatment.
Avatar n tn I'm 19 and recently have had much more severe and constant facial flushing. My face has always been a little red, but now the color in my cheeks is more severe and noticable. I went to a dermatologist and they said that i might have dermatitis or acne rosacea. So they gave me a wash called rosula, and locoid lipocream (hydrocortisone butyrate .1%) to use morning and night. I have used both for a few days but i dont think i see any progress.

Avatar f tn m a 24 year old female who recently started experiencing severe anxiety, to my knowledge. About 11 months ago I went on birth control to help cope with my severe menstrual cycle and acne flare ups. While it did cure my acne, I started having panic attacks. Almost every day. I eventually made a trip to the ER where they ran several tests and took CT scans. Everything came back normal and I was told it's anxiety. I quickly linked the anxiety to my birth control and went off of it in April.

Avatar n tn I have a history of cystic acne, which hasn't bothered me in about 4 years. I am 25 years old. A couple of days ago, I got a huge breakout of whiteheads - something that I have never experienced before. I haven't changed any soap, cleansers, detergents, fabric softener, anything. The zits are all over my chin and sides of my face and on my forehead.

Avatar n tn However one morning about 3 years ago I woke up and my entire face was beat red and the acne severe, It literally happened over night. I have used everyface wash imaginable from over the counter to infomercials and proactiv. I have been to 3 doctors and no one can tell me what it wrong with my face. I have had to help aside from a witch doctor trying to tell me I had a hex put on me but even her remedy didn't help (im desperate).
Avatar n tn My wife developed this red rash on her on her face mostly on her cheeks and nose about six to eight months ago. At first we thought it was acne but no acne treatment helped. Our dermatologist doesn't know what it is. It happened about the same time she had her ears pierced. The backs of her ears have been swollen and red and she has a rash down the side of her neck starting from the base of her ears. She also says that her neck is itchy.
Avatar f tn Other dx, though possibly not MS mimics, at least annecdotally, cause heat intollerance in at least some people. My MIL has severe RA and can't stand the heat, especially when it's humid. Her sx flare very badly, to the point she can hardly walk. I don't know if that happens to everyone with RA, but my SIL (who is not a blood relative of my MIL) also has RA, though not as severely, and also has trouble with the heat.
Avatar f tn I am looking for help in regards to my 13 year old daughter. She has severe cystic acne for the past 7 months. The cystic acne was just beginning late last year in 2013. The oral antibiotics were of no further help so we started Accutane in Dec 2013. She had the terrible initial flare but it has not stopped!! She started out on Accutane 30mg twice a day and then bumped up to 40mg twice a day. Then dropped to 40mg once a day. She weighs about 155lbs.
