I have been on Monodox 100mg twice a day for a little over a month now. I'm about a week into my second month and my face has been feeling hot and looks a lot more red lately. The redness gets really bad when i exercise or do any kind of physical activity. I had no problems my first month and my acne is 80% better. Do you think the antibiotics could be causing this?
Are you using any topicals along with it?
Yes sorry forgot to add that. I have been using differin 0.3% at night for about 8 months and epiduo every other morning since i started the antibiotics. Also i wash my face morning and night with cerave gentle foaming cleanser and use cerave moisturizer morning and night along with a 30spf suncreen for during the day.
Its the Differin and Epiduo for sure. I use them both and the same thing happens to me. What I started doing was mixing some moisturizer in with them so there not as strong and drying. But its a common side effect.
I hardly use and epiduo when just a very small amount on like 2 or 3 pimples. and ive been using the differin for around 8 months with no issues i always put on moisturizer after using both to. My whole body is starting to feel warm now to. should i maybe skip tonights antibiotic to see if it helps? also after i took it this morning i had a weird taste in my mouth and and saliva was really thick ive never had that happen either. My dermatologist is suppose to call me back tomorrow morning.
