429647 tn?1249753429 I shaved about 2 days after that. I now have a terrible infection on my scalp. It looks like severe acne and is all over my head. My Dr. put me on an antibiotic and hibiclense wash twice daily. It hurts, especially when I get this tingling sensation. They first thought it might be shingles but I guess they decided it wasn't since it was all over my head and not just on one side. Has anyone had this problem with their hair loss.
Avatar m tn I asked him if he thought this might be lymphoma and he said it is very unlikely since I have an obvious infection on my face (severe acne) plus the fact I have sinus infection. About 2 days later the blood test results came back everything normal. So I made an appointment with my dermatologist to start me of Isotretinoin. I also asked him on his opinion on the lymph node he said same thing that it was caused by acne. About a week later I finished my antibiotics and started on the Isotretinoin.
Avatar n tn Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a skin disease caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in noninflammatory forms. Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots, or zits.Exactly why some people get acne and some do not is not fully known. It is known to be partly hereditary.
Avatar m tn After reading your post and looking at the picture you attached, it seems like you have Acne nodulocystica (more severe form of acne) with possible bacterial superinfection (additional bacterial infection often caused by patient’s attempts to release the content of the nodules/cysts).
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 m tn Hello, Acne is sometimes the product of a staph infection, but can also be the cause if open wounds created by broken pimples become infected with staph. One type of staph infection leading to acne is folliculitis, which creates clusters of acne on the skin. It is important to know and confirm whether your acne is due to staph in order to address the infection before it gets worse.
Avatar f tn I had a ischemic stroke 2 years ago at the age of 22 caused by birth control. Almost immediately after the fact, my skin erupted in severe acne covering almost every inch of my face. I went on accutane to try and remedy the issue but even that only cause temporary relief. I have at this point, been on almost every acne medication possible but nothing has helped. I now deal with bad cheek acne that I never had at all before the stroke.

Avatar f tn For acne you the severity and extent of your acne has to be considered here. Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and/or bacteria. Apart from hereditary factors which may cause hyperactive sebaceous glands, certain diets (high in refined sugars and processed foods) and hormonal changes are associated with outbreaks of acne lesions. You may try using OTC bactericidal products containing benzoyl peroxide in mild to moderate acne.
Avatar f tn I am struggling with a severe acne breakout recently. I can not figure out what it is from. It first started at both sides of my jawline, little white bumps under my skin that surfaced as cystic like whitheads. Now I have them ALL over my face. I have been going to a dermatologist for a long time and he told me it was acne and milia. He uses a needle to "zap and burn" them. Which leaves me with dark small spots all over my face like measles or something. They take 7 days to heal.
583092 tn?1218128207 So I started using this new acne treatment and it was doimg fine. I mean I still get a few breakout but it was clearing my blemishes and my skin felt better. After about a month my neck and my eye lids started to itch. I am not sure why this happened but I thought it was like a rash or infection so I put anitbiotic on it and then it felt better. So I told my sis and she said it my be eczema and I have never had eczema before so I looked it up and tried to find about it.
Avatar n tn I have severe cysitc acne that covers my upper back. I went to a dermatologist for this condition beginning at age 12. During the course of treatment I was perscribed Minocycline, Doxycycline, tetracycline, and sulfa based medications, all resulting in allergic reactions. I was finally placed on Accutane with positive results while taking the drug, however six months after completing treatment, the acne returned again.
Avatar n tn I have had mild acne for about 3 months. It is very irritating and i would like to get rid of it. Should i consult my Dermotologist? Or is there any cures i can go about at home, such as dieting, wear loose clothing, or just have a friend of mine pop them all then apply ointment? Please help, this is a big confidence problem.
Avatar f tn It makes me have severe stomach issues. I cannot even have the acne cream with it since I still get stomach issues even though it is not supposed to be able to get into your bloodstream from being on your face. I would call your dr immediately and get switched to another antibiotic and see if you need to go to er. I am currently on penicillin for my tooth infection after root canal. It is working for me and not many issues.
Avatar m tn ve suffered from severe sweating since the onset of puberty and also had severe acne as a teenager. For acne, I was prescribe 6 months of accutane - which did wonders for my facial/body acne. However, in the last couple of years I have struggled with controlling back acne. For sweating, when I was 20 I received botox injections in my forhead and armpits - which worked well. Not amazingly, but helped for sure. I had been getting injections every 6 months.
Avatar f tn Folks I live in a rural community with only one family practitioner who is looking to retire .in a nutshell he's been my family doc since I was a small child .im now 43. I've been suffering for the past few years with several symptoms first starting with what I feel as arthritis at night in all my joints . Fatigue and weight gain followed suit. Thyroid has been watched for the past several years and he tells me it's borderline but I'm doing ok.
9868019 tn?1411157797 t had any of the symptoms I had with my girl.Which was severe nausea and morning sickness. And acne horribly. I used to joke and say I had pizza face. it lasted up until I was about 5 months and then my face started to clear. but before that everyone was saying that it was a girl because of those symptoms and Lord and behold when I went and had my ultrasound at 16 weeks I did find out it was a girl. so it may be true you may be having a little girl.
Avatar f tn is gone, but in their place has come a strong odor (there was no odor during the actuall yeast infection!). Is it simply a sign that I have not fully gotten rid of the yeast infection? Or something more serious?!?
Avatar n tn My exposure was nearly four months ago, I kissed the girl deeply many times open, and repeatedly licked her nipples and other parts of her body which has Acne specifically on her back. I haven't licked her vagina or insert my tongue in it. I have inserted my finger in her vagina and it was wet with her vaginal liquids and i believe my finger had wounds due to always eating the skin around the nails (bad habit).
