If I take birth control and Tetracycline will it help my get rid of my acne faster?
I’m taking birth control for acne
and now starting to take Tetracycline.
I was wondering if taking both would help get rid of my acne faster?
Or should I just take one or the other.

can a regular doctor perscribe this for acne or do you have to specifically go to a dermatologist?

just got put on a 20 mg dose of accutane. my face immediately started to clear up but i was also wondering if since my face is already pretty clear is it going to start breaking out again before it gets better? i mean people say u break out at first because its clearing all the deep acne out of your system well that stuff is already cleared out due to other medications. How long do i have to wait to have clear skin?

So on acne.org, it states that you shouldn’t wash off the benzoyl peroxide cream after it dries….

wth?!

so am i suppose to just leave it on for the entire day and apply moisturizer on top of the benzoyl peroxide, or do I wash it off first and then apply?

I received an email from a lawyer office claiming there is a case against the maker of Accutane
(for serious acne), and noted some medical conditions that have been related to its use.
Some of the conditions I could kind of say I have been diagnosed with of recent-pre-colitis and anal drainage issues.

I used Accutane back in the 1980’s when it had just hit the market, I think.

Is this email and supposed lawsuit a hoax or legitimate?

I have it very severe on my back. I have been on for 3 weeks now and my doctor said it is a 5 month program. I have not seen any change since i started it, if anything it looks worse. I have been on 20mg of accutane, so when I go in for my next appointment is will the dermatologist put me more 30-80mg because of the severity of my acne?

So I’m 14 and today my dermatologist gave me Tetracycline and recommended i use it for about a month and see what happens. But after, I looked on here, and saw that many people complained about harsh side effects, like discoloration of teeth and major nausea. My doctor didn’t mention this though. He just said to not drink or eat any dairy products within 2 hours after taking the meds.

So what I wanted to ask, is all this stuff true? Should I still start taking Tetracycline? And what side effects have you experienced (if any)?

Oh and also, I’ve tried Proactive and Clearasil, and those somewhat worked, but I wanted a more effective medication. And my acne isn’t even that bad, its quite mild. But I thought I should just clear it up now, cause it gets pretty bad sometimes.

Thanks!

Been taking 20mg accutane per day for 54 days now and my acne is almost gone, apart from the odd couple of zits here and there. How long before skin clears totally?

I just read that benzoyl peroxide actual lengthens the timeline of acne red marks. My acne is around 90% clear I just have a load of red marks that have been there for about a month I what to keep my acne under control without bp thanks

I just got prescribed Doxycycline Hyclate a few days ago for my acne. I was wondering how well it works cuz I feel like I’ve tried everything. How long did it take to see a difference? Does it make your skin worse before it stats getting better? How did it work for you?
