Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What is Best for Treating Mild-moderate Acne? Benzoyl Peroxide or Retnin A (Tretinoin)
benzyl peroxide vs tretinoin
Dec 31, 2018
This is a common question but worthwhile asking and answering. In short benzyl peroxide used for acne under medical supervision should in principle not age you. It is a simple over the counter product for acne and has an effect on the bacterial ‘rainforest’ on the skin particularly p. acnes although won’t help with comedones – that give rise to the acne papule. Retin A (and other topical retinoids) are capable of addressing this but also provide a rejuvenation effect which my patients…
I took doxycycline for over 3 months now. My acne is under control. Should I stop taking it
how long to take doxycycline for acne
Dec 31, 2018
Doxycycline is an anti-inflammatory medication for acne and as such, it may flare when stopped. That being said, it is also not a long term option. 3 months is reasonable but it is recommended you consult with your GP or dermatologist to decide together when it is best to stop.
When can I go back on the pill for acne?
The oral contraceptive pill in acne
Dec 31, 2018
If the pill has worked for you in the past, it is likely to work again, particularly for hormonal acne. You need to balance this with your wishes for children and other health effects of the pill which you could discuss with a dermatologist or GP. Other options include topical or oral retinoids depending on your severity.
Stopping BenzaClin – How long will it take for my skin to go back to what it was before?
benzaclin not a long term option
Dec 31, 2018
Depending on your actual skin condition, you may need to see your dermatologist for a short course of antibiotics to settle down the inflammation. In the short term, benzaclin is working to address flares by causing an anti-inflammatory effect – once stopped, you break out again. Consider topical or oral retinoids, provided no contraindications, moving forward.
