Hey guys,
I really need your help since I can't get to a derm soon and need to know what is going in with my skin. I was on Minocycline for 10-11 months and started breaking out on the 7th month after staying clear. However, I am currently weaning off it and I have the worst flare up I have had in months!
I cannot seem to decide if what I have is hormonal acne or folliculitis. If you guys do know, I would really appreciate any comments and any suggestion on how to cure this.
I got this on my chest, back, face and one in ear (pics posted). I have always had this type of acne but can't seem to decide what it is.
Also, every spot on my face is filled with pus and when I pop it, it goes yellow sometimes.
Thanks!!
Idk if i can help much but im on mino as well. This is my second time on it. First time it worked and kept my face 95% clear, but i got off it eventually. Few years later my acne persists. I dnt think it was becuz of the mino withdrawal tho. so now ive been on it for two months and i still have whiteheads and such. I never get cysts or red pimples but ive gotten maybe two so far on my time on it. Looked like wht u have. So easy to deal with, they went fast. I know Aqua Glycolic soothes irritation..it did for me, but im still getting acne. But id recommend it.

Thanks but not the answer I was looking for
First thank you all for your posts and sharing experiences.
I am constantly developping white pus zits around mouth and chin! I started developing this about a year ago.
Symptoms
---------------
- constant small white pus zits around mouth and chin. dry up in about 2-3 days.
- few more start when one stops!
- red bumps
- redness irritation.
- All these symptoms only around nose , mouth and chin. rest of the face is clear!
- constant Dandruff also.
Didn't work : Tried following from Derm,
------------------------------------
- Doxycline Hycyclate
- Minocycline
- Differin
- Promiseb
- Zaina
- Aczone
- pretty much all steriod crap.
Remedies worked that helped a little but not cured completely
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACV
Clay masks
Yogurt masks
Candida Diet - No sugar, No milk
ACV for dandruff.
SLS free stuff
Non flouride tooth paste
brush with sodium bi carboate (ew!)
Diet:
------
I have been eating like a monk from past 2 years,
fruits for breakfast
salads
bunch of green vegetables
yogurt once in a while.
tried candida dietfor couple of weeks which seem to clear up a bit and not complete relief.
Things next to try:
-----------------------
- Connection of these symptoms to histamine intolerance ?
- Connection of these symptoms to fungal ?
- what is the damn white pus ?
- supplements - L-Lysine, L - Glutamine
This thing brought me down so much in my life! There are days when i just sit in my room and cry because I have pretty much tried everything under the sun. I am even worried to go meet my sisters kids Please help share your expertise and what worked for you guys. Please drop a note and i really need your support to keep me motivated to see the light at the end of tunnel.
thanks!
