Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen for acne

ibuprofen

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 m tn With serious acne I found that I would get these nasty lumps that took forever to reach the surface and erupt. This may be the caae with you. I never found a cure and the condition did not die away until my 50's. Sad news. What did help was not stimulating the skin of my face in anyway. In fact all I did was rinse it in lukewarm water - no soap - no astringents - no facials - no sunbathing. Following that routine I prevented serious flareups.
Avatar f tn I take 1 paratabs 500mg and 1 ibuprofen 400mg almost every 3-4 hours over my worst time (4-5 days) and for 3-10 days I take painkiller every day once or twice over the day, but still arenĀ“t pain free but can tolerate the pain.
309783 tn?1271958229 Hi. My dermatologist recommends long term low dose oral Isotretinoin for resistant rosacea co-existing with adult acne (there is no risk of pregnancy). He says this will reduce telangiectasias and redness. I thought retinoids made telangiectasias and redness worse? Or is that just topical retinoids? I would value your advice. Thanks, Eloise.
Avatar n tn i am 50 years old. for the past year i have been getting large painful pimples on my face, usually around my hairline, eyebrows and scalp. theonly 2 things i can think of as causes .....a year ago i started to drink a fruit drink every morning 1/2 cup orange juice, a banana, an apple and a pear. is this too much sugar at one time, enough to cause acne? my doctor says it is a stapg infection and puts me on antibiotics every 6 weeks.
Avatar n tn Hi... In the past few days I've noticed this weird looking bug bite, acne, or something else on my back. I can't tell you when I got it originally but i know it had to be within the last week. I didn't notice it until last Thursday, Friday time. So about four days ago. The photo was taken today (so four days after finding it). Basically its scaring the crap out of me because I showed it to my father and he was acting like it was skin cancer or something. Any help would be awesome.
Avatar n tn I also have a bump on the shaft of my penis, but i thought it was just acne and squeezed it, and as usual, acne stuff came out and i thought nothing of it. I am 17 years old and had oral sex with a male recently. I trust him enough to tell me if he had any STDs, but I'm very paranoid about this at the moment. Is there any chance of an STD here?
Avatar f tn Hi-Sorry--Ihave noticed in the last week or so that I have acne or what seems to beacne around my anus. It is not right there, but surrounding it. I do not have any of it by my genitalia. What could this be?
Avatar f tn Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?
3122657 tn?1357432602 Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.
Avatar m tn Maybe the picture isn't doing the spot justice, but this doesn't look as bad as you described. If you're bothered by the redness of the acne scar, look for spot treatments with sulfur, which lighten the skin after a few weeks of use. Also dermatological light treatments are available, but probably wouldn't be covered by insurance, since its considered cosmetic. Also use good sunscreen (looks like you do).
Avatar f tn Has anyone heard of any reactions to ibuprofen while pregnant?
Avatar f tn is it safe to take ibuprofen when pregnant? Just once? Ran out of tylenol.
1386405 tn?1291587800 ok I just read online that you are not suppose to take ibuprofen while you are pregnant again im 5 weeks i took total of seven not all together of course over say a period of maybe two days due to a severe toothache did i do something stupid is my baby going to be ok.
Avatar m tn whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
Avatar f tn My doctor said that ibuprofen is a big no no but then again it is only one time and many have taken it before knowing they were pregnant i am sure u and ur baby will be fine just try not to have it next time.
Avatar f tn No please no..
7923170 tn?1412999504 21 years old. Pregnant with second baby currently 11 weeks. Im currently taking Lovenox shots n my prenatal the passed 2 weeks have had headaches... Is it OK to take ibuprofen if I don't have tylenol available at the time.
Avatar f tn I had a really bad headache yesterday and took 6 200mg ibuprofen tablets ( 2 every 4 hours 3 times) and then I found out today your not suppose to take ibuprofen. I'm really worried, will everything be okay?
7758733 tn?1402589420 Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.
4565515 tn?1373411085 So in addition to the stomach problems of the past two weeks I've developed acne! I NEVER get acne and I don't know why I've started breaking out! I'm not stressed, I get plenty of sleep, NOTHING in my life has changed! So what's up? I take hormonal birth control it's called Apri. I switched to it two or so years ago because my other bc pills were causing acne, but it cleared right up when I started Apri.
Avatar f tn Is it true you shouldn't take ibuprofen it can harm the baby? I just seen this today while doing research as to this is my first. i have been taking it before I found out I was thinking my period was coming and I've always had bad cramps so I know to start taking it before my period comes to help with the pain. Should I be worried that I've harmed the baby from taking it? I'm 5 weeks BTW.
