doc upped my dosage accutane 40-60-80 mg really worried! [accutane]

Hi:

My doctor just upped my dose to 80 mg (40 mg twice daily). I was on 40mg my first two months, he upped that to 60 mg during the month of March and April, because I was still breaking out. And now, the beginning of my fifth month, he wants me to take 80 mg a day! Im female and only about 21 95LBs! 80 mg is too high for me, but I think it makes a difference as he gradually increased the dosage, right?

Im afraid of what might happed when I start taking the higher dose. I

Anyone heard of this? [vaginal cream] [derm]

Has anyone heard of using Cleocin Cream to help acne? Cleocin comes in many different forms, but the cream form is a vaginal cream. I had a bad breakout on my forehead a week ago for an unknown reason and because I had been clear for a long time now I decided to go to the derm to ask whats up. He laid it on the Rx and wrote every night apply on the forehead. The pharmacists were confused because it is for vaginal use. Just wondering if anyone else has tried. It actually cleared me in just a few

Doxycycline 100mg works, but then disappears! [doxycycline] [zits]

I take doxycycline and off for about 6 months. Everytime I take a prostitute, about 2-3 weeks later my skin clears well. It remains clear for about 2 weeks when my skin breaks out again. When I first started my derm prostitute said it would get rid of my cysts once and for all, but it disappears when my face breaks out again! Does anyone know what the reason could be? I appreciate all Comments. Thanks! And does Doxy 100 mg help with itchy small pimples that will, if not, what can I use to get ri

Hey, just wanted to hear all of accutane users out there – Im not on it but was wondering about the effect on the libido. Has anyone experienced loss of libido, desire or ability to have orgasms while on accutane? Thank you.

SIMPLE, neutral facial cleanser? [basis soap] [facial cleanser]

I think most products irritate my skin and produce more acne. Im looking for a cleanser that is very neutral: just cleans the dirt and oil and thats it. No exfoliating, toning, firming, acne fighting ingredients blah blah blah. BASIC

I cannot use soap because it is irritating in lanolin. Cannot purpose, because it leaves my face feeling greasy.

Vitamin E is a problem? [spiro] [yasmin]

This is a long shot, but in addition to Spiro and Yasmin Im taking these pills Aloe u0026 Vitamin E, as requested by my doctor for an unrelated reason. The pills are 50 IU per 500 mg of E and Aloe each. I take 6 per day. Does anyone know if these pills could be contributing to my acne? It is particularly worse than usual the last few months and Im wondering if its more than just the Yasmin. Large quantities of e a help or a hindrance?

arrrgh nostril and ear seat [blind pimples] [facial cleansers]

Okay, I know this is annoying, but Im sure most people have at least one (or both) in their lives .

I many blind spots to get into my nose and ear folds. They are very painful (can not even my nose or ear if itching, rubbing, or they will hurt like hell), and they take forever to go away. I can not really use facial cleaners or detergents, because you just can not make chemicals in your nose or your ears! Im afraid of doing damage, so I live with the pain . but I get them so often! H

Just questions about Tazorac [tazorac] [accutane]

Does it tend to your oily skin? Ive been using for about 2 weeks and see a shine today . wondering if it was from the poosibly Tazorac or cp serum. I assume that would be too dry Tazorac place so close to the formulation of oral Accutane. Perhaps the glow was just my imagination today.

The Tazorac after two weeks of using the network 2 to 4 minutes before washing my face . appears to be “digging” the ones who are under the skin. They have felt under the skin and have looked like bump
