echoyjeff222 0 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ok, I just came down with a cold (throat cold) with lots of mucus and blah blah. At the same time, I've gotten two new pimples from ones that were already sort of there (they were small bumps but now they're whiteheads). I've been using cleanser with Duac and moisterizer afterwords as well. And, I apply lemon juice to the pimple itself. It was getting better too, but now I'm back to having this one spot on my cheek with two big pimples. Should I give up on Duac and get the acne.org bottle, or was it just because of the cold that caused the acne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzard 0 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Colds don't cause acne, as far as I know. If the Duac is working, stick with it. How long have you been using it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItalianBoy 2 Share Posted January 10, 2010 That's nothing. Wait at least 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoyjeff222 0 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Oh, the duac is probably about 5 months old though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalianBoy 2 Share Posted January 10, 2010 That's extremely wrong. You should toss it after 2 months. The antibiotic is no more active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBoy 1 Share Posted January 10, 2010 i dont know about that, i got prescription minocycline and it made me break out with cystic acne with large patches of pimples...and dont say it gets worse before it gets better because i never had cystic acne in my entire life and my acne wasnt that bad, just scarring from picking and poppingi quit using it and 1 week later im way betteranyway, the person who said wait 2 months is correct...i cant wait to see wat bp does for me in 2 months.
