Like Green Gables mentioned already -- hormone changes take a long time. I've been on almost every low does BCP out there (including Loestrin). I had clear skin until I quit the last one I was on. It ...

So I've been back on the pill for about a week and a half, and I'm breaking out in places that I usually don't. I'm inclined to think that it's because of the pill, even though I never broke out like...

I don't think you need to dilute it. I've only ever used full strength tea tree oil on my skin and nothing bad has ever happened. There are certain areas of my face that are more sensitive to undi...

I recently bought some tea tree oil, and read that it needs to be diluted when applied to the face - I started out using it undiluted on a small patch of skin to test it (thank god) and found out why ...

bump. I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow and I'm wondering what kind of tests I should have done and what kinds of specialists (other than a dermo) I should get referrals for. Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies. My main question is if it takes a long time to see improvements when you go off the pill. For example, if it takes a few months for most women to see a breakout from stop...

So I just had an appointment with my derm last Friday and had yet another topical prescribed. I'm currently using Retin-A Micro, but since my skin is getting worse and worse (although I've been using...

I think it might be a good idea to see a nutritionist before I decide on any single diet-for-acne plan. There is just so much (conflicting) information on the internet that I wouldn't even know where...

Question's in the title... I'm planning on starting the candida diet and I'm wondering where you can buy bentonite clay to use in the detox drinks. Can you buy it at Whole Foods, or are they only fou...

Accuatne isn't necessarily always prescribed based on the severity of your skin. If your skin has a serious effect on your mental and emotional health, Accutane might be something to discuss with you...

Thanks for your response, alexisc, it's nice to know that people in a similar position to myself have found the root cause of their acne and corrected it, since the older I get the less convinced I am...

So I've been off the Wellbutrin for a couple of days, and the weird breakout on my left cheeks is going away, but I'm still breaking out, and it seems like it's getting worse. My psychiatrist wanted ...

Today is my fourth day on Wellbutrin, and I think it's already breaking me out. I have been breaking out lately, but the past couple days I've been breaking out with a bunch of these tiny, red bumps ...

I've heard that antidepressants, including Wellbutrin, somehow have an effect on your hormones. Does anyone know how they effect your hormones, because I also recently started taking Zinc, which also...

So I talked to my doctor today and she said that going off the pill for a month might mess with your periods for a little while (I guess as your schedule adjusts back), but it shouldn't do too much to...

So I've been taking straight up Zinc (50mg/day) for about a week, but the tablet form was kind of chalky and tablets don't digest as well as capsules, so I bought a different brand today. It's Zinc C...

So I've been off the Lo Estrin for about 2 weeks (3 if you count the placebo week), and I haven't noticed any change whatsoever. For those of you who have gone off birth control, did you notice a dif...

No, I'm not taking Ambien anymore. I stopped taking it when I went off the Dexedrine. Although I have taken it a couple times here and there, I've never noticed it having any effect on my skin. For...

bump.

Anyone?

So my psychiatrist gave me prescriptions for Wellbutrin and Klonopin yesterday, but I haven't filled them yet. He prescribed the Klonopin mainly for my sleep issues (I've been on Ambien for about 5 y...

Anyone?

Thanks for the responses so far. Pocketfullofsunshine - do you mean that you break out for three weeks after you stop taking the pill, or it takes three weeks for you to start breaking out? Basicall...
