Hi everyone! I shared this on r/skincareaddiction and got a lot of positive feedback, so I wanted to repost it here in case it helps anyone else. Like every human, I have sebaceous filaments but mine were more noticeable than “normal.” I also have some blackheads… after my ex made me self-consci

Hi everyone! I’m 28M. Like every human, I have sebaceous filaments but mine were more noticeable than “normal.” I also have some blackheads… after my ex made me self-conscious about it I dug deep into the hole and geeked out researching what I can actually do.                        

Acne progress: Nov 23rd vs today. Just last week, I had a breakout and was upset that it "wasn't working." But that's why we look back! It is! Routine: AM - Benzoyl peroxide wash (Panoxyl) - Glycolic acid (alternate days) (Ordinary) - Azalelic acid (Ordinary) - Moisturizer (Soon Jung) - SPF (Supergo

The question of how to get rid of post-acne dark spots has been coming up a lot lately, so it seemed like the perfect topic for a Teach It Tuesday. I suffer from this myself, so I did a little bit of digging into the subject. **First, some terminology** This post will focus on post-inflammatory hype

Okay, most of us have probably heard that the data picture for Differin/Adapalene as an anti-aging retinoid is pretty limited right now, especially vs. tretinoin. (Although recent data seem promising!) I’ve heard some derms recommend it for anti-aging and some not. While it is “the gold standard”, t

From what I understand, adapalene is used for acne maintenance, so are tazorac and the like. But retinols OTC are used for anti-aging. Aren't they essentially in the same class though? Has there been any head to head trial between any of them for a certain indication? (I have not been able to found

(27F, 150lbs, White) Struggling with acne and have been on 50mg of spironolactone twice a day, birth control (Blisovi 24Fe), azelaic acid 15% in AM and 0.3% adapalene in PM for 2 months face acne showing success.

Hi there I’m a 18 y/o female. The other day I used nair cream on my face and I forgot that I use an acne medication called Adapalene and benzoyl peroxide which makes my skin super sensitive so when I put the nair cream on it burned my skin and it was very painful. The nair cream was on for about 6-

What the title says, essentially. For some context, I'm 23 years old, afab, about 5'3" and I'm guessing around 136 lbs. I started taking Prednisone after an infection in my face from an abscess tooth reappeared. I was on Clindamycin originally, but I wasn't told to finish the entire bottle (or

I'm a dentist and actually have a specific question, but I figured there are probably a lot of questions I don't even know to ask, so fire away! If this post gets some good responses I plan to post a link in r/Dentistry so more dentists will see it. My specific question has to do with the number of

2 months ago child’s mom reported child had rash after taking azithromycin, so we added that to allergies and contacted doctor to switch to clindamycin. We get another rx for azithro now but this time the mom says she thinks that the rash that time was due to taking tylenol, and wants to take the az

It smells like stinky feet and vomit mixed together, who formulated that and decided that was okay? Did you do a focus group, because no one will take that stuff. Also you can FlavorX that stuff, but it can only do so much.

I’ll try to keep it short. Patient comes in from ER with script for Norco and Clindamycin. Clindamycin comes out to be $29 and Norco $5. Patient says he cannot afford the antibiotic. I offered to call the hospital for a substitution for a cheaper alternative, and inform patient that it will take les

Does any ID pharmacist know why Clinda is dose lower PO than IV when oral bioavailability is 90%? ​ https://preview.redd.it/yr6os9u5tf391.png?width=655&format=png&auto=webp&s=15aeee84b0a05279225cc84fd11cec97198488f2
