Acne Cream

i am facing very trouble with acne ,is evion cream is useful for acne .Can I use Evion cream on my face regularly because i have oil skin ## Evion is just a vitamin E cream, but there are some people that have said it helped with their acne, however, that isn't proven. Learn more vitamin E details here. That said, with oily skin, you do need to be careful what you use and I am not sure what all the ingredients are, so you may want to check them carefully, before using it. Are there any other questions or comments? ## My skin is oily and having chickenpox scar can i use evon 400 mg

what is the difference between oxy 10 and oxy 5 and which one is more effective ## The active ingredient in this is Benzoyl Peroxide, which is used topically to treat acne and the 5 or 10 refers to the percentage of it that is in the cream. As to which one is more effective, it really depends on how severe your acne is, mild cases or people that have sensitive skin may only require the lower strength one. Which one has your doctor advised you to use? ## i have pimples,i have tried honey,baking soda and other creams but none has worked,if i try to use oxy 10,will it remove my pimples and for how long,please help me,am down and i always feel ashamed of myself.

I've been breaking out lately and have had many big nasty red pimples, so I was wondering if I used this would it clear it up??? ## Hello, Girly! How are you? You shouldn't use a prescription product, if it wasn't prescribed for you and, since this one is not formulated to treat acne, it could actually contain something that might make it worse. Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications? Has anything changed in your diet or skin care routine recently? ## Can I use Gelmicin to get rid of stretch marks? ## Can Gelmicin be used to help fade deep acne scars? ## Yes, it’s better to use unscented lotions.

Can nystatin and triamcinolone acetomide cream USP be used to reduce acne? ## Unless you were told to specifically use it to treat acne, I would be reluctant to do so, since there may be something in the inactive ingredients that could cause it to worsen. Learn more Nystatin details here. Learn more Triamcinolone details here. How severe is your acne?

My doctor told me to apply LA Moist Cream and Fulite Cream together. I have acne and I don't understand how to apply these two creams together. I also don't know the right time of day to apply these creams. ## Well, I guess you need to consult with your doctor to know how to use this skin care products because he knows what kind of acne you have and how these products will affect your skin. Anyways for your knowledge, I tell you that generally LA MOIST is used at night before any medication or before sleeping.

I have acne on the back of my neck. My age is 71 years. I have tried antibiotics with no success. I am desperate. Info I got says it is incurable. Please help. ## Hello, Leon! How are you? Actually, since this cream contains a steroid, it can cause acne as a side effect, so it isn't likely to help, according to the NIH. Acne is always curable, so to speak, depending on the underlying cause. If you deal with whatever is causing it, the acne will go away. Are you on any medications? Did your doctor give you any idea of what's causing the acne?

That can be a side effect of most steroids, you may also experience dry skin, redness, irritation and weight gain, as reported by the FDA. Typically, such side effects are transient and will start to go away in a few weeks, once you finish your course of treatment with the steroid. Is there anything else I can help with?

My grandma bought me epitrel and it is from Mexico. I do not understand exactly how to use it because it is in Spanish. My acne is about gone but I have scars from it and was told that this is supposed to help. Is this true? How often should I apply it to my face? ## Hi Elizabeth, I can confirm that it is an acne cream, with the US product equivalent called "Retin-A". Epitrel contains the active ingredient Tretinoin; which is mostly used to treat severe acne. The directions say: "Apply a very thin layer, at night, before bed. You only need to use a very small amount. Wash your face in the morning with a good cleanser, then follow with a good moisturizer."

can nystatin cream be used for acne i didnt get a clear answer onthis page ## Hello, Will! How are you? No, this is an antifungal cream, so it won't do anything to help acne. Acne isn't caused by a fungus, but it is sometimes caused by bacteria and can be treated with antibiotics. Is there anything else I can help with?

a topical cream ## Where can I buy Epitrel (generic for retin-A) ## This is used to treat acne, or prevent wrinkles. The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as redness, itching, burning, and flaking. Are either of you on any other medications?

Hello I had a question on tretinoin cream about it hepling for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation does it really help. I have the 0.1% and all my acne is gone but im stucm with these red dark marks on my face. Im 19 years old brown skin ## Hello, David! How are you? Actually, if you were using it for acne, then the Tretinoin cream could have caused the hyperpigmentation. It has been known to do that, according to the FDA medication information sheet. Other side effects can include skin irritation, sun sensitivity and stinging. Thus, it might not be something you want to use to try to get rid of this, unless your doctor has instructed you to use it for that. What else do you use on your skin? ## hello david, you can used supatreat 0.04% gel for your red marks. it is good cream for acne ...

Should I continue with my benzac or should I stop until its cleared up? Went to the doc and they gave me an allergy inj. and prednisone tabs and clarihexal tabs. Will they help? Thank u.

My name is shaikrizwan I'm using a cream of ''BETAMIL GM'' past an 1 month i get best result on my face on my face so many pimmples and after using this cream like a magic its gone its amazing cream ## Hello, Shaikrizwan! How are you? I'm very glad that it worked for you. However, you should be made aware that one of the active ingredients in this, according to MIMS is Betamethasone, which is a steroid class medication, so it could actually cause or worsen acne, as a side effect, along with skin irritation, redness and dryness, as listed by the FDA. The other ingredients are Gentamicin and Miconazole, which are types of antibacterial agents. Did your doctor prescribe this for you? ## I m a 17 years old girl i have pimples problem only so can i use regular Bitamil...

Hi, I have been taking purbac for about 3 years on and off now for my acne. As soon as my prescription ends I get horrible sore swollen pimples around my chin and mouth. I'm really battling with the purbac though as it makes me bloated. I've also started suffering with a lot of hamstring pain which I think may be related. What do I do now? Are there any over the counter meds or creamsI can use? ## What else has your doctor advised? Purbac contains Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim, it is an antibiotic prescribed under the name Bactrim in many countries. Being on it for so long means that there's the possibility of a rebound effect, when you stop taking it. If that's the case, it may just be a matter of waiting for it to process out of your body and clear up on its own. H...

Melas should not be used as a skin fairness cream... Melas cream should be used only at night before bed time for 15-20 minutes and then clean your face. And the next day use Melas ultra cream 5-6 times during the day.

anti-wrinle cream ## is tretinnnnoin effective on scars and wrinkles? can it be applied on a open blemish? is this a good product? ## I've been prescribed tretinoin cream to dry out some skin pores that have gone crazy. IS it a wrinkle cream too? I can't find any info on it. ## Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A, it is most commonly used to treat acne, and other topical skin conditions, and a form of leukemia when taken orally. It should not be applied to open blemishes, as it may cause further irritation, redness, and dryness as side effects, and while it has been known to help with wrinkles, it is not usually prescribed for that purpose. Has it been prescribed for you? Alicia, sorry to read of the problem you're having. What other remedies have you tried?

how do I apply quadriderm nf if I want to use it for my acne? It wasn't prescribed to me or anything but my mom hopes it'll cure my acne for good. ## Hello, Jayjay! How are you? This cream likely isn't a good idea to try for acne, one of its active ingredients is a steroid, which the FDA warns could actually cause or worsen acne as a side effect, along with skin burning, redness, and irritation. It would be best to see your doctor, so they can prescribe something appropriate to help you. Are there any other questions?

How are you doing? Well, you need to learn what's causing it. Some types of acne are bacterial and require an antibiotic.

If used as just to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, how often would I apply and how much (dime size or less) ? ## Hi Debi, Epitrel is most commonly used as an acne cream, but I don't know if the application would be any different for treating fine lines and wrinkles; so that may be something you'd want to confirm with your doctor first. From what I could gather, the US product equivalent is "Retin-A". However, both products contain the same active ingredient (Tretinoin); which is mainly used to treat severe acne. The directions from Retin-A state the following: "Apply a very thin layer, at night, before bed - only using a very small amount. Then wash your face in the morning with a good cleanser, followed up with a good moisturizer." You can learn more about this ...
