I started on doxy and was switched to mino on oct 13th.
All GI problems stopped except for never being hungry. Which is fine cause I started a new diet. Acne on my back is already 90% better. I do still get swollen nasty things that I never got before antibiotics. Ew. My face looks better - I guess. I say that because I haven't been getting as many cysts and ifllammed acne. But I am still getting them - worse though I've been getting a LOT of huge blackheads that form overnight on my cheeks, forehead, chin etc. I've been giving myself almost daily extractions otherwise they get worse and worse. I've also been getting lots of surface whiteheads and deep white things. Most aren't inflammed but some are. My skin has also gotten very oily since starting antibiotics. My neck and scalp has also gotten an onslaught of inflammed acne. Oi I'm really not used to this. My skin was always smooth and clear except where I had inflammed acne and now it's bumpy all over showing signs of getting worse - not better. Regimine: wash 5% benzoyl peroxide 1-2x day clinamycin(sp) gel 1x day retinol cream at night once every couple days minocycline 100mg at night (no longer a need for a moisturizer for the first time in my life. Used to have aligator skin nose. Used to have normal skin with severely dry nose. Now super oily with normal nose)

I have mod- severe acne including cystic acne that comes
and goes with no ryhme or reason. But oddly enough verytime I've gone to the derm my skin clears a couple days before(not completely, but usually all cysts clear and then 80% of the rest) am I the only one this happens to? Should I take pictures? The last time I cleared mostly but also wore makeup - the nurse didn't even cone within 7 ft of me(meaning she didn't inspect my skin. My last derm used to really really inspect it closely)

I started doxycycline exactly 2 weeks ago along with 5% benzoyl wash and clindamycin gel.
I wanted accutane(bad cystic acne, post weaning my daughter) but the nurse(I was supposed to see the doc) only wanted to give me BCP. I insisted against it, as I know my acne gets worse on most BCPs, and I already use paraguard. She was reluctant but perscribed me the above. My face has since become more oily. Within 2 days I had a horrible breakout, with acne like I've never had before all over my body after that cleared I have begun getting tons of non inflammatory acne(big blackheads, big whiteheads, and deep non inflammatory hard things.) every day it gets worse. Starting Thursday I started having 24/7 heartburn really bad. Tums isn't helping, nor is taking the doxy with food. Also new headaces, they feel like strong caffiene headaches but I know they aren't because coffee is not relieving them. Help |
