norgestimate and acne

If you are having recalcitrant acne in women then probably oral contraceptive containing norgestimate 0.25 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.035 mg; spironolactone; prednisone. If you have acne where sweating is an aggravating factor then aluminum chloride solution should be your choice of your treatment. Acne surgery are done for comedone expression; incision and drainage of fluctuant cysts and abscesses; chemical peel; micro-derm-abrasion; intra-lesional triamcinolone 2–4 mg/ml.

I started a new birth control in December and I noticed that I am getting these red blotches and bumps on my neck and arms. Could this be a side effect of it?

I'm on CD 88. Took Provera and did not have bleeding or spotting within 10 days after. Did blood work and it showed FSH: 6, LH: 1, TSH: 2.54. I did temping and OPKs and I'm pretty sure I did not ovulate. Before that I was on BCP (0.035 ethinyl estradiol & 0.25 norgestimate) and had very regular periods. What next? Clomid to stimulate ovulation? Clomid followed by estrogen? BCP to reset the cycle?

I used to take tri-lo-sprintec tablet generic for (ortho tri-cyclen LO) for the past 6 six years, but in Michigan we do not have it in generic form anymore. Therefore this month i started taking Eth estradi/norgestimate and I feel very lazy and sleepy all the time and I see that I have been gaining weight. My question is is what I am taking now the same as what I was taking before because that is what the pharmacy told me?

m eighteen and recently got my wisdom teeth taken out so I had to take anti-biotics for a week and the doctor told me if would interfere with my oral contraceptives, Sprintec (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol tablets, 0.250 mg/0.035 mg). I got the antibiotics at the same time as I started my new pack of birth control and took them both for the first week of my cycle, and I used protection until the next week when my antibiotics ran out (because, of course, things happen).

I'd wait. Sure you could have gotten pregnant but the pills make your period odd the first month. Technically it is supposed to start the week of placebos but mine always started around the first day of the missed pack. You can always test but I'd wait two weeks from the sex to test (as it typically takes two weeks from conception in order to show up on test) and you should get your period between there.

Hi Soniya, The first pill I took was ortho-cyclen. I tolerated it very well. Then they put me on kelnor and now I am on Lo-Ovral and still not having a period.

I have acnes on my face and a litle on my chest and i have acne scars in both places, i was wonderin if acutaine would help my scars as well as acne? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/239739'>Accutane-scar question</a>.

For the past few weeks since December 2009, the acne has spread all over my face and turning into itchy, painful cysts acne. After trying everything, I could not think of any other thing but the Mirena IUD. I did a search online for it and there are many blogs regarding its side effect of severe acne. I really do not want to remove this device because it is so convenience, other than the acne.

Hi, a couple of months ago, as the title of this post sugests ive started to get some acne mainly on my upper back and now also on my shoulders too. Cant believe it how it looks now and how it used to look (i was clear, and even used to make fun of my sister's acne on her back!). Damn puberty... =p What's the best product (cream or natural) that would get rid of these marks and acne effectively?

s hyperthyroidism (in this case possibly too much synthroid) that would cause oily skin and acne. But I have had patients report acne with these medications even though the levels show it's not too much -- so hard to know if definite relationship.

That is a good sign you are having a boy.I have very bad acne that is all over my back my chest and I'm having a boy.I was reading in my pregnancy book that acne is a good sign for a boy.

She also has Lupus but she has seen a dermatologist and rheumatologist and they dismiss it as acne. She knows she is out of remission with discoid lupus. But they assured her the 'acne" is not lupus breakout. Since this drug causes a lot of hormonal changes she wondering if it is a sign of anything else going on or a side effect of Armidex? thanks for any help you can give.

My friend had really bad back and chest acne, for YEARS, and it wasn't until just recently they found out it was caused by a wheat allergy. I also had face acne, and birth control really helped! I eventually got moved to Accutane, which is some seriously heavy duty stuff, but has made a world a difference!

I also have pcos and had acne before pregnant and seemed to get worse when I got pregnant. I am 19 weeks now and the last two weeks it seems to have calmed down..fingers crossed!

s cystic acne (far below the surface - no whitehead, usually tender and painful) or regular acne that forms white-heads. The cystic acne can be injected with steroids at a dermatologist's office to prevent long-term scaring.

m curious why more studies have not been conducted to study the correlation between phentermine and acne? Acne is not listed as a possible side effect of phentermine, but phentermine is considered a methamphetamine; methamphetamines are known to causes acne. I am a biology teacher and am frustrated that medical professionals are not confirming the overwhelming reports of acne being associated with phentermine. Is it a conspiracy????

ve suffered pretty bad back acne for years now, and I was wondering if back acne (especially cystic type) can lead to swollen lymph nodes? Specifically, the persistent swollen node I am referencing is the supra-vascular. Thanks!

Infact I had one that matured and dried out. But this one seems to be hard and big and red. Also my lip is swollen in that area. This problem has now lasted for 2 days and seems to worsen and pains! Any suggestion on how I can bring this swelling down and the bump on my lip? Is is not a pimple? Can I buy any over the counter medicne for this problem?

I take 50mg of levothyroxine for a border line underactive. Have no ovaries or womb and settled on HRT years ago as a result. Have never ever had bad skin. Until 5 - 6 months after taking Levothyroxine. The amount I take has stopped the terrible frightening symptoms I had. All of my family and friends and myself are so happy that I am now 'normal'. But what about this acne at 43 years of age ?????

I had acne problems with my first (and I seldom get acne regularly), but had great skin all through the second pregnancy. Each pregnancy is definitely different!

t start any med yet), I today sit near him, and pop my acne in front of a mirror. He then talks to me and his fluid from his mouth spalshes on my fresh acne wound after I pop my acne about 1-2minute. He had a rotten tooth pulled out at hospital about 20minutes ago;I don't know his bleeding stops or not. And my blood is little bleeding on my acne wound. I don't know if there're any blood for blood in saliva. If his blood is on my wound, will it be any risk?
