About three and a half weeks ago, I was prescribed tretinoin .025% cream (once a day) clindamycin phosphate 1% (once a day) and also told to use PanOxyl 4% wash. I have not seen significant improvements and am worried. I was wondering how often to use PanOxyl--should I use it in the morning and at night? And should I use the Clindamycin with tretinoin or not? If so, which should go first?
I have completed 5 out of 6 microneedling sessions. I have seen significant results except my hyperpigmentation persists. Will tretinoin eventually fade my old acne scars? Also I have been taking Vitamin A & Zinc orally in a vitamin supplement For acne.(at first i was taking 900mcg but I just switched to a different supplement that is 4000IU, sorry not in the same units). Would I need to stop taking my supplements, too much Vitamin A? So far my acne clear bc of vitamins + topical Clindamycin.
I have several small and big red acne (10-14) over my face. using below medicines, 1) Clindamycin/Benzoyl peroxide cream (in morning) 2) 15% Azleaic acid, Finacea (in morning & evening) 3) Tretinoin (0.05%) (in evening) 4) Minocyline tablets (2 times a day). I've been following the above routine for the last 3 weeks but have had no improvement yet. It caused big dark red patches over the spots on my face. So, I started using fresh aloe vera and honey over my face to bring back the skin to normal. Is this ok?
I use Tretinoin Cream (.025%) at night and Clindamycin Phosphate Lotion (1%) in the morning for acne. I wash my face first and then apply, but immediately after, my face turns bright red, burns, and then peels almost like a sunburn. I've been using it for a week and the burning gets worse the more I use it. Should I put more time between washing my face and using them?
My dermatologist told me to use 5% benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin at night and then use tretinoin in the morning, but the directions told me to use tretinoin at night. Should I stick with what my dermatologist said or should I maybe swap the prescriptions and use the benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin in the morning and tretinoin at night?
