I have been using "On-the-Spot® Acne Treatment" by Neutrogena for a couple months and finally feel that I have my acne under control. This spot treatment has 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. I found the 10% solution WAY too drying and while using it read that it can cause long term damage to one’s skin. Is there anything I should be worried about if I use a 2.5% solution twice a day?

would a 100mg doxycycline,that i took 2 times a day for about a week, have enough of an effect to cancel birth control?
haha, ya well thats the thing, i didn’t supplement, and now, i’m hoping nothing "happened", if you know what i mean.

I just started yaz last month and Ive been taking the pills everyday at the same time. My pack is almost done except for 2 of the "nonactive pills" are left. So I will be starting a new pack Sunday. I usually get my period on the 10th before I started this pill. Will my cycle continue to be on the 10th or will it change?

They say things like " if you or a loved one have taken YAZ and had any of the following side effects please call our office. You could be entitled to…." does this mean there are a lot of cases with YAZ causing major issues? I get worried everytime I see one. Anyone else?

I’m trying to identify my breakout "triggers," but that is impossible without knowing a pimple’s "incubation" period… lol. And everyone always says something different!
In reply to "jamieann," i am extremely hygienic. i don’t wear makeup… just sunscreen when i need it. i clean my face gently but thoroughly twice a day, and i use oil-blotting sheets during the day if necessary. i also exfoliate as needed. i am very conscientious about never touching my face (so as not to deposit oil or dirt on it).
and Clover… i think you misunderstood the question. what i am trying to determine is how long it takes a zit to develop. that should be a universal thing — my point was that nobody seems to know the answer for sure, since i always read different things about it (as in, it appears that science may not yet know the answer).

Your pregnant neighbor has a sore throat and tells you that she is taking some "leftover" tetracycline from a previous infection. Give her two reasons why this is a poor decision. Another woman has been prescribed a broad-spectrum oral cephalosporin for a sore throat. What are some consequences in addition to the cure of the infected throat? Finally, a man has a severe case of gastroenteritis that is negative for bacterial pathogens. A physician prescribes an oral antibiotic. What are your opinions of this therapy?

I come home yesterday from visiting my Family, and My kitty cat "Frigger" didn’t look so good he kept rubbing his right eye. i went up to him and it was really red and watery. So i Have this stuff erythromycin ophthalmic ointment, in used when my infant daughter had a blocked tearduck. Can that hurt him ? and if so what can I put on it to make it better

this is 3 questions in 1, but all of the questions are linked to each other so please bear with me…
i had this massive pimple below my lip and it hadn’t "sprouted" yet, but i tried to pop it anyway. i was unsuccessful in popping it since it wasnt "out" yet. i kept on trying for several days until i finally got it. now i have a red spot with a scab over it and my skin around that area is very irritated from so much poking at my pimple. because i poked around that area so much ANOTHER pimple is coming out right next to that massive one so that area is getting more irritated because it’s itchy and i can’t stop scratching. how do i cure the irritation, prevent my former pimple from leaving a scar and prevent the new pimple from coming out?
