Hi all. Learned much from reading this forum the last few weeks but im still kind of at a loss on where im going, what i have, and what i should be doing. Guess this will be long to accurately descri...

Well, Id take these any day over giant inflamed zits. Anyway, since it is minor, you may want to check the over the counter stuff first. There's lots of products out there. Some work for some, some...

To me, it looks like your typical minor acne. What meds have you tried to alleviate this?

Ev1 is different but you should give the antibiotic at least 8 weeks to make a judgment whether it is helping or not, especially if you are dealing cystic and/or severe acne. Best of luck

ive always been told to massage the spot after the shot just by rubbing it so the cortisone gets dispersed evenly. Also, if the derm that did it this time around used more than they should have, that ...

Im 38 and have used aczone. Do not spot treat BP after using aczone. I think you'd be much better off w/ BP in the morning and Aczone in the evening (will save your bedsheets from bleaching). Ac...

Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole The drug has been marketed worldwide as generic preparations and under multiple brand names, including Septra (GSK) and Bactrim (Roche) Same thing

im sorry but i cant see your pics but Ive had hyperplasia addressed. Were they removed or burned off w/ a little pen-like wand? If you just had them done, the skin surrounding is just irritated and ...

Ironic; I had a very bad cystic breakout on a college class trip to DC. Went to all kinds of museums, landmarks, even sat in a Supreme Court Case. Sadly I have no details of anything that happened t...

I was, but to be honest, since I had such a bad initial breakout, my pores were relatively clear and I was able to maintain a mostly clear complexion w/ just topicals. My theory, and I dont have any ...

I would say to address recurring cysts to either get a cortisone shot or to have them professionally excised. Please discuss w/ a derm.

I feel for you and your son for what he is going thru. I know its of no consolation but accutane is going to bring all that stuff to the surface during his initial breakout. What was his acne like b...

  what other antibiotics have you tried? is the amoxcillin still working? Why switch if it is? Ideally you dont wanna be on antibiotics forever, but Im in the same boat you are; Id rather have...

if it has a wet/yellowish head, Id take the plunge and pop it. If it has a head, it too late for a cortisone shot. If you're worried bout doing it, you can go to a derm to have it extracted

Yes, you are low. I was too and have been taking about 5000 IUs per day for the last 4-5 months. I may be 'healthier', who knows. But it has had absolutely zero effect on my skin.

Hi, I have been on Amoxcillin for about 3 years now and am afraid that my body will start to become immune to it. I was wondering if anyone else who has been on Amoxcillin or something similar ever c...

you just may need a stronger retinoid like retin a or taz. Be prepared for an even bigger breakoout tho. They are much stronger than differin. If your face is congested and differin cant cut it, yo...

I wouldnt expect an IB. The concentration of the retinoid in the Epiduo is smaller than .3 Differin you are using now. Going from Differing to a stronger retinoid like Taz, would likely bring you an...

i take bactrim too. I dont think weight gain is any listed possible effect, but anything possible I suppose. Ev1s system is different

How long ago have you had them done? Usually the derm will ask you right off the bat how long you've had the cyst. They typically dont want want to shoot 1 until it has gotten to its blown state. T...

Bubbles, if you knew anything about genetics, you would know that many genes can be and are turned on and off by external factors. Absolutely wrong. >It all falls down into hormones. Diet can a...

I would use the Eryacne in the morning and Differin alone in the evening. The instructions for Eryacne might assume you arent using any other products as part of your skin routine. Using too much to...

Everyone reacts differently to different antibiotics. You wont know until you try em out. You will likely be put on mono/tetracycline first. Bactrim is always an option as well, but that is not a f...
