Hi everyone!
I'm hoping someone can help me out; I've got a question with 'Clindoxyl' or 'Duac' is another name for the topical.
I've gone thru accutane and managed to end up with fairly mild acne 5 years later. What had come back mostly was really small red bumps on my forehead. I was on Retin-a for just over two years and it worked amazing. Didnt really experience any during that time.
I've quit Retin-a about a month ago because I'm planning on my first baby end of this year :)
Unfortunately within a week those little demons came back.
My skin was so dehydrated from the retin-a (probably didn't moisturize enough those years) so I just used moisturizer until I got my barrier back. 
My doctor prescribed clindoxyl and Ive been on it for just over two weeks.
My question is ....the little red bumps are now gone but I am now getting bigger red bumps that seem  inflamed.
My skin is dry and I am moisturzing quite a bit.
Is this normal or am I missing something? I'm hoping it's just a phase but honestly I'm unsure.  never got these angry red bumps before.
The rest of my face has been fine since I've quite Retin-a, surprisingly.

Sorry for the super long post, I was just hoping maybe I missed something!
Thank you in advance! :)
Angie

Start taking vitamin E and flaxseed oil
it's the best for dry skin!
also vitamin D3, would be helpful if you are inside house most of the time:)

 

apply acne treatment every other day, it will work better
also wash face at night only with cleanser
finish with cold water always

Hi AhaGuru,
Thanks for the response! I've picked up the D3 and hoping it helps :)
This is a pic of my current skin; sometimes it's better sometimes it;s worse.

I notice on myself when I started taking vitamin E and flaxseed oil my skin wasn't dry as usual in winter season
its the best oils to take inside!
also this tea combination is the best to control hormones(no pms or any cramps if you drink regularly)
its nettle and red raspberry leaves
at any high end grocery store will carry them ( usually they are sold separately)

Also check this herbs with what other drugs it's ok to take them
