Hello!

i've been using Benzaclin for about 3 months now. it has worked wonders. Just recently i noticed small dry patches on the side of my face where i had used a lot of Benzaclin prieviously, trying to get rid of an under the skin pimple. i'm moisturizing them like crazy, even using Vit E oil but it still looks rough in those areas. Does anyone know of this happening? I was thinking it was because i've been out in the sun a lot or because the benzaclin is nearing the expiration date. Any ideas??

Thanks!

Moved to the Prescription Acne Medications board.

Thanks! i wasn't sure where to start a post.

If you go to the main message board page, all the boards have little blurbs under them describing what each board is about. Those should give you a good idea of where to post.

I occasionally get dry patches with Benzaclin too, and they end up kind of peeling like a sunburn. I'm pretty sure that's just a general side effect of Benzaclin. I just keep putting moisturizer with a sunscreen on everyday. For me, it lasts a couple days to a week or so before going away.

Thanks for the feedback. The patches actually did go away i just have some redness where they were...i'm not too worried about it! I was just worried it was an allergic reaction to the medication. I would be so sad, since Benzaclin has worked wonders. i love it!!! So expensive though!

has it worked well for under the skin and white heads? thats pretty much all i get, and its usally before my period. im afraid its to strong and not going to work for my skin probelmes.
