Medical Forum / General / General / August 2007Important Questions About Acne Medication Retin-A Micro
Hi. For many years, I used Benzaclin to treat acne on my face. Benzaclin contains benzoyl peroxide. Recently, I started noticing that Benzaclin wasn't working as fast as Benzaclin had worked before. I thought that my face was getting too used to the Benzaclin. So, I asked my dermatologist for something new. The doctor gave me Retin-A Micro (0.04%). I have used the Retin-A for the past 4 weeks. However, I have seen an INCREASE in the number of pimples I have. The doctor said that I should use the medicine for two more weeks and that, if I am still concerned, I should see him. So, what's going on? Is there supposed to be some sort of temporary increase in pimples before the medication clears my face? Can someone explain this? Thanks.

I know iodine can trigger acne in myself as it makes my skin oily. Even iodine supplements can do it to me. Back in the day when Oroweat the bread maker use potassium iodate, the bread could trigger acne. .

Whenever I suffer an injury that needs to be disinfected, I use iodine to disinfect the injury. As for iodine-related food, I regularly eat kaiser rolls that I get from a bakery. Also, I eat French rolls. On Aug 10, 9:00 pm, midwest...@yahoo.com wrote: > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Thanks. This is a bit unrelated, but CLindamyocin is the only thing which ever worked for me. I tried a Retin-A cream and it didn;t help me at all. Some peoplerespond better than others on that stuff. I'd keep trying it for a few months just to tell. ----------------------------------- www.tawny-kitaen.com On Aug 11, 11:37?pm, mail3277...@gorillaswithdirtyarmpits.com wrote: > This is a bit unrelated, but CLindamyocin is the only thing which ever > worked for me.

The problem in my case is that I work from time to time as a movie extra. So, if the Retin-A increases my acne for a significant period of time, then I could be screwed. 9 weeks to see if something works? Give me a break! Regular soap will do wonders! www.itspuresoap.com On Aug 12, 11:37 pm, midwest...@yahoo.com wrote: > On Aug 11, 11:37?pm, mail3277...@gorillaswithdirtyarmpits.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > extra.
