Hi there,
For most of my adult life I have had persistently hard (but not flaky) skin on my forehead. It feels like an exoskeleton and looks thick and dull. So far, it has been completely unresponsive to moisturizers. (Even when my forehead looks like an oil slick the skin is still hard.) The condition seems temporarily ameliorated by exfoliation but really only for a day and my skin is too sensitive to exfoliate very often.
Minocycline, Metrogel, Prosacea, Eurax, Loprox, Tea Tree Ointment, Econazole, Clotrimazole, Ketoconazole 1%, Selsun Blue, Lotrimin Ultra, Finacea, oral Diflucan, an assortment of vitamins and supplements, natural and alternative medicine.
I have this theory that my body is attacking my chin area's skin cells, therefore breaking down my skin barrier or turning cell turnover too rapidly, which may make the cells clump up in my pores. How do I get to the gist of it and stop it?
I've been using metrogel for a few months now for a place on my cheek. It's finally clearing up, but my entire face was scratched up today, including the area I typically treat with metrogel. Is the metrogel safe to use on fresh scratches and sores to continue treatment. If so, would it be good to also put the metrogel on my entire face to help with all the scratch marks?
as far as i know i have 2 skin conditions, rosacea and eczema. both reoccur from time to time. i was taking clomiphene 3 months ago and became pregnant. ever since taking the clomiphene a rash appeared under my mouth next to my chin down the sides. its sore, itchy, dry and bumpy. it occasionally weeps clear fluid from the bumps and then forms a white scab on the lumps. is this a bad case of rosacea i have no facial flushing in that area.? is this eczema or some form of dermatitis.
My doctor perscribed me Metrogel 0.75. I have been using it since Jan 18th 2010 (last month). For the most part I have been clear, however I still see some LIGHT red areas like they are fading away. Have I not used it long enough? BUT, I cleaned the house yesterday, and now today I have a larger red area in the corner of my eye..probably from sweating? My doctor reccommended I take Doxycycline 100mg, accept I took two pills and had total stomach pain -with or without food!
My question is.
Hey jack I dont have any great skin advice (my one biggest problem post treatment aside from my thyroid) is patches of this eczema like rash (which the derm gave me Fluticozane for which stops the itching right away but alas some of the patches remain) but I wanted to say hi and wish you all the best.
I really couldn't add anything but noticed that you had posted and wanted to wish you well!!!!!!!!!!
m asking because I have recurrent bacterial vaginosis infections - i have tried metrogel, flagyll tindamax, clindesse, i have it again.. I bought plain yogurt and mixed it with acidophillous powder and inserting it using a metrogel applicator at night, I always wear a liner because of bv anyway, but there is a LOT of discharge. Am I doing this right? has anyone else had good results with this method? how long should it take for symptoms to go away.
I was tested positive for HIV this February. I have been an occasional user of MDMA via syringe. I tested negative for Hepatitis B and C. During the first week of June, I suddenly came down with a fever which wouldn't go away. Later the doctors found a lesion on my liver, for which I was treated with Metronidazole (Metrogel) injections, and later metrogel tablets. Recent CT scan shows "a cystic lesion on the liver, measuring 4x3.5 cms with a smooth enhancing wall seen in segment IV.
One of my own daughters takes them when she needs them, a few times a year for a few weeks or months. Most of the time she is controlled by Metrogel.
As you know, there are millions of permutations and combinations regarding how an individual might react to a certain condition and its treatment.
As you now know I've experienced myself, docs are not correct all the time. I'm as smart as the next guy, but overall probably not smarter. "Luck and G-d.
s own and is gone confirmed 2 times by doctor.I was given metrogel I used 1 dose and had difficulty breathing headache and tremors.so the doc said stop med.Then went to see a gyno specialist and she said same bv and she removed a polyp from cervix it was benign she also told me I tested positive for urea plasma all my other std test are negative.HIv neg.no chlamydia,gonorrhea, trichomonosis all negative.she prescribed metrogel and doxycycline I tried the metro gel was taken off.
2 months ago I was diagnosed with my first ever yeast infection. I was experiencing some discomfort and burning during sex, also after sex had small tears at the vagina opening and on the inner labia. DR tested me for all STD's, swabbed tears for herpes, results for STDs came back negative. I took 2 diflucan's and was feeling better.
When I get out of the shower or overheated, I have a pink spot on the skin just above my upper lip, touching the lip line. It's approx. 2 cm long by 1/4th cm high. There's also a tingling sensation at times.
The skin there looks slightly different but I'm 62 and have had age spots burned off in my hairline, etc. I am female, never smoked, don't drink and have never had a cold sore or tested positive for HPV. I do not sunbathe but grew up in the south.
Lastly, she was on a steroid (diprolene) for years for the face (lupus). After the bad burns from the Metrogel, and it healed the dermatologist took her off of the steroid cold turkey and said to just use certain creams until the breakouts from the steroid went away. The "acne" apparently isn't due to the steroid and doesn't look like a rash it looks like acne.
thanks for any information or help you can give. She has been in menopause for 10 years and is 58 years old.
t want to worry you but you need to be careful with prolonged use of doxycycline. My daughter was on that for 1 year for acne. Her copper level is 3 times higher then what is acceptable. Which in turn made her acne worse. high levels of copper will cause skin problems. I am now working on a liver cleanse and an all natural way to pull the copper out of her body.
I have a yeast infection might start my period soon and im on Fluconazole and metronidazole (2 pills 72 hours apart and metrogel for 5 days once every bed time) yesterday was my first day on pill and gel and today i notiched like this blood like little clumps nothing like discharge i want to know if its normal ?
