Been away for a while. Things going to crap so heart broken its not even funny. Blood and cysts and had cysts injected no docs/derm interested in any of the ear/nose stuff said it could upset the bact...

That is really interesting. I wonder what tests they run to get gram - bacilli or gram + cocci. That sounds like a gram stain especially when they mention in the report about "occasional" gram positi...

There is no way your nose and ears don't have bacteria. You have many millions of them in each area. Here's an example of the bacteria in all of our nostrils. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negati...

Awesome that they swabbed all of those sites. If the pimple-causing bacteria is in your ears, you would likely be positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram -) folliculitis or Staphylococcus aureus (gr...

        Ill keep you posted. Could it still not be staph though if its cocci or is it always associated with staph/strep It can be Strep, but for what I've read skin inf...

Yeah derms just wont test it and I have been to a few I dont know if a skin swab will show it like the GP is doing or if I need a biopsy. And yes I have cystic acne, although I think spot treating is ...

  Ill keep you posted. Could it still not be staph though if its cocci or is it always associated with staph/strep It can be Strep, but for what I've read skin infections with S. pyogenes are...

Also how key is moisturising? I got a neutrogena oil free combo skin one... And I used it tonight because skin is really dry esp after using the BP for the week, feel calmer. Just hoping it doesn't br...

Yeh I am, doing a paleo diet at the moment.

Are you using a good moisturizer also? How strong is the BP that you are using? Hope you can find the cure soon ) Best regards, Ele Hey! Im using 2.5%, i have been a tad slack on moisturiser... ...

No luck getting an ear swab yet still getting cysts as well, good days and bad days. Been using PB I hate the stuff so drying and it just wrecks your skin not going to use it.

Hpoing to get ear swab tomorrow. Preying for some answers, I have started getting some big cysts again havent had these since my first round of accutane 2 years ago.

I'm sorry you are going through such a hard time,don't ask for oral clindamycin antibiotic ,in the long run it is bad for your colon,look it up . My daughter used ziana, it's a retin a plus clindamyc...

S. aureus is a gram + cocci and it should be classified as a pathogenic bacteria. However, just because it may not have been isolated from the pus swab doesn't mean it was never present. Your leukocyt...

It is likely that your dermatologist would swab on a mannitol salt agar plate to check for the presence of Staphylococcus. That's interesting that a pus swab turned up negative for any microorganism...

OMG I have typed this answer about 5 times and keep having issues with this site grrrr. So its gonna be brief lol -GP swabbed derms not interested just say acne results are in the picture attached....

No worries, I will try an convince my doc to ear swab as well. Hopefully they do it, was a push to get the nasalnone done. If it was staph is there any reason why the pus swab from the pimples came ba...

Im sure you wont! Just be proactive.

Might want to check this out. Looks like you have some sort of folliculitis. Could be gram-negative due to all the antibiotics or staph colonization in your ears or other moist regions (since you ...

Hi glad to hear that accutane has cleared you well! I can relate to the dry eyes, on my second round of actuate in particular it suddenly came on. I was getting dry eyes a little bit but my conta...

Cheers for the recipe Ill give it a try:) I have been drinking a warm lemon ginger turmeric and cinnamon drink which I enjoy as well.

So after dry eye got really and and headaches 10 days into low dose, skin was looking good, but I decided to stop the accutane, I'm over it. I then had a breakout within days again, and almost started...

Does anyone know if this is still going?

Unfortunately I relapse rapidly after stopping a standard course, and I had to stop my second course 2 months in due to severe e dry eye, thats still not fully recovered and has gotten worse again sin...

Thanks, for the article! I am now on a probiotic and the low dose tane for a bit. Two seems have recommended taking really low dose for a year or two see how I go.
