It is actually supposed to help women who have thinning hair to regrow it.Some women may have the opposite as a weird side effect though,but it is rather rare. I have been taking it about a month myself.I heard it can take a while before really seeing results...like 3 months.

Hi,I just wanted to add that you should make sure you aren't getting too much thyroid hormone. Symptoms of over stimulation can be feeling very agitated,not being able to control emotions,insomnia,hyper,increased heart rate and blood pressure,sweating,big appetite,hair...

Yes,there is an initial break out with Differin.For some people it is worse then others.It's because it brings everything below the surface to a head in order to clear everything up. It shouldn't last much longer.If it does,you could ask for a short three month dose of oral antibiotics to help...

Hi,no problem:) Wish I could help more. How long have you been on Spiro? I heard that it can take a long time to work because it deals with hormones.I'm really interested in taking it myself because I heard it can help with oily skin issues from hormones.My doctor (not my derm,my GP) is...

Yeah,sometimes it didn't work for me either.Then I would take another one.I don't know if you're supposed to do that or not,but it helped me.It may mean you are getting used to the medication and need to up the dosage or try something else.

I don't think you have to worry about Retin-a harming your son's sperm,but I could definitely see that it might be rather harsh or cause some irritation.When I used it,it really dried my face out a lot and made it peel constantly.You may have to be sure to apply a moisturizer so this doesn't...

A frozen compound? I have heard of that with warts,but not with pimples.I'm surprised the derm didn't inject it with a Cortisone shot,which is supposed to instantly shrink pimples. Have you tried Zeno?

The best way to stop winter break outs is to make sure your skin is moisturized good.People with acne tend to think they don't need lotion if their skin is oily.So then you get dry flakes that clog pores along with the oil. Use a good, NON GREASY lotion twice a day in the winter.And if you...

Purging is VERY real,and virtually any regimen you start will do this. The minocycline should help though,stick with it.

I had no luck with Retin A either.My face just peeled all the time,yet the acne never cleared.Have you ever tried Differin gel? It is in the retinoid family,but works in a different way then Retin A.Many people who find no relief with Retin A find that Differin works well and is less irritating...

I agree don't say sorry.I have been using the Oxy 10% Bp face wash for a year now and it works great. I'm glad something is working for you:)

Is there any way you can go to a dermatologist? They would really be the best person to determine what is going on with your skin.It could be anything: hormones,birth control pills,the heat,stress,certain fooRAB,or maybe what you are using on your face isn't enough or causing the problem. Acne...

I did a quick search on the internet and found several websites saying how "citric acid" may worsen acne. So..maybe try to avoid fruits that contain citric acid and see if it helps?

Interesting theories you have Vegasbrat. I'm not really sure though? If you were a woman and had too much yeast,wouldn't you be more prone to yeast infections? I have only ever had one in my whole life. When I was taking biotin many years ago,it was because I heard it was great for helping hair...

Hi,I'm sorry you are having a hard time.I don't think it's having sex that is giving you acne though. Cysts can be hormonal in women,and I would bet coming off the pill has alot to do with it.A lot of women go on the pill to stabilize hormones and get rid of acne. Maybe your body is just...

You said you feel off balance? Along with dizziness and feeling nauseous,kinda sounRAB like maybe an inner ear infection.But I assume they checked your ears in the ER.Did they test your thyroid? Thyroid function has a lot to do with feeling "balanced" too. It is possible it could have just been...

Death is a terrible thing and something that causes a lot of people fear and anxiety. This may sound stupid,but our pet gerbil died a few years ago,and it sent me into the same kind of panic about my husband and my daughter.I started thinking how everyone I love would die and leave me alone. I...

Yes...you may want a short course of antibiotics to see you through it

I'm sorry I have to correct you. Spiro is a potassium sparing diuretic.That means you do not eliminate it in your urine.So your levels would not be low,but high.Just wanted to clear that up. It is also a testosterone blocker,which is why it works so well in women who may have too much...

I hate my oily skin.My acne has cleared up for the most part but face is still a grease slick.I'd rather have dry skin.I actually enjoyed having a under active thyroid for a while because my skin dried up.Now it's back to it's oily,nasty self:mad:
