If it bothers you, you should see another dermatologist. Tetracylin is really side-effect ridden drug, I have brown patches on MY TEETH from my mum taking it when she was pregnant with me. \n\nThere are lotions etc, available which can lighten the skin... but in the mean time, as it may be patches of melanin (what makes your skin tan) make sure you ALWAYS wear sunscreen, even on days when it's raining. Vit A (especially at Roaccutane levels) can leave the skin very sensitive to light.\n\nAs a very quick solution, probably it's best to get a really good cosmetic concealer. There's a sort which is used for birthmarks or burns - ask a cosmetologist.  That's not a long term solution though it may help you feel better in the meantime.\n\nYou don't have to live with this, and while you may not trust professionals, keep getting second opinions until you find something that works for you.\n\nGood luck!

try applying curd on your face and leave it to dry.. rinse it with water after 15 minutes.. this should keep ur skin glowing and take off the unwanted chemicals.. moreover, u need to drink plenty of water to avoid the oily excretions from ur skin.. avoid all the cosmetic creams since they only add to the problem.. let me know if this works..

When we discuss the problem ACNE, it is particularly inexhaustible topic and believe me I know what I am talking about,dear.The acne solution Solodyn has one active ingredient, which has shown over the years very positive results in curing or alleviating acne, namely the antibiotic Minocycline ( actually it is from the group of the tetracycline's as Doxicycline, Erythromicyne,etc). I ave no idea about the severity of acne you have, is it mild,cystic, but at any event the choice of the therapy should be administered by a dermatology st, because no creams over the counter help in this skin condition. Then another vital point is the healthy living and the specified diet, a balanced one, the intake of plenty of pure water ( if you drink at least 8 glasses a day you would observe great results),eating of raw veggies and fruits. There are so many factors that are causing aggravation of acne,especially the stress.Well, as to "Solodyn" it can either work well for you or not, that is the truth,for the sake of the personal response to the medication( to some people just Minocyclyne is not strong enough) and your dermatologyst prescribed you only topical solution without a medicine for the peroral intake? It's not wise, the best results are obtained when there is synchronized topical and internal treatment. If you ask me I would recommend you as one of the best choices Zynerit,which contains the antibiotic Erythromycin and Zink, it is proven the effect and this antibiotic works best among the others.\nI think I should stop writing, because as I said from the beginning it is inexhaustible theme. If you need contact me, I will help you with whatever I could.\nTake care.Do not feel down because of pimples, please..\nHave a great time!

I have seen a dermatologist for the same problem. He diagnosed me as having Rosea and prescribed a prescription medicine that is cheaper than make-up. It is Noritate one percent. It works like a charm.

You have two different problems the first one is your oily skin. For that, wash your face with neem soap three times a day followed by applying sunscreen moisturizer… it is essential\n\nSecondly, your skin is turning dark. It clearly shows that you are exposing your self more in the noon sunshine. For protection wear cap, trousers and full sleeves shirt and cotton gloves while venturing out in sun. \n\nIn addition, apply sunscreen lotion on your face and on the exposed pats of your body and take bath daily. Calamine lotion is also considered effective.

i would suggest going to a dermatologist.  they can best tell you what is good for your skin.  besides, the best stuff you can only get with a prescription

Hey man be careful with some crazy people up there. Oatmeal, lemon juice, vinegar IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. Those things could make it even worst. Take a pain killer like Advil or Tylenol. Also, get Banana Boat Aloe Vera gel. Put it in the fridge and use it at least twice a day (morning and evening). Last year I had a bad SBurn. Right after the Aloe Vera gel I use a Lubriderm lotion. Don't rub it, be gentle. Also, don't expose yourself to the sun and use light cotton cloth. Avoid detergent or use a natural one to avoid any sensitive reaction to the skin. Also, drink vitamin E and break a capsule and mix it with the Lubriderm or Aloe Vera gel. It worked out for me. I know people who had nasty marks after a sun burn like mine. I don't have any!

It's going to be completely dependent upon your body's chemistry. Proactiv helped, but didn't clear me up either, so I know what you're going through. Have you tried using masks before? There are tons of different type, from fruit enzymes to muds, etc. You could go to a dermatologist or try asking your regular doctor for prescription medication - don't be discouraged if that doesn't work, either. Just let them know and they'll try another type. There will be something out there that will work for you!

Every medication has side effects because no two people are alike.  A very serious side effect is unlikely but always possible.  There are quite a few regular side effects.  If  you need specific information about something you think might be related to the tetracycline, please feel free to email me.  Two important things to remember:\n1. if you use combination birth control, use extra protection while on this medication\n2. avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning beds or sunlamps

Oh my gosh, you mean there are others? Are you a pretty pale person like me? I get it a lot. I can get it from really hot (heat hot, not spicy hot) foods too - like soup.  I get it from wine sometimes too. Everyone asks me why my nose turns red.  The dermatologist just said it was blood vessels and due to my skin being so light, it looks a lot more prominent. I find that if I keep very well hydrated, it is a little less extreme.  So glad to know someone else has that problem too!

Actually sounds like heat rash. Keep the skin dry, and try to find a type of medicated powder such as Gold Bond Or Fissars

I've had various skin problems recently, and I found Unguentum and DiproBase helped the most. They're available in huge tubs, so you can really slap them on. A pharmacist should be able to advise if they are suitable for your skin (or alternative remedies if not)

more than likely it is a fungus.  I had white spots start at the back of my neck and spread out.  Upon goin to the doctor, it was discovered that there was a fungus growing on my skin and blocking UV rays of the sun, therefore, causing the skin underneath the fungus to appear to stay white.  After that, I applied an "salve" I suppose killed the fungus, and it never happened again.  I was 16 or 17 at the time.\nNow if your dark skinned by nature, I really have no idea if this is the same thing.  I myself am a pale skinned person.

It sound just like what you said, seborrheic dematitis. Go to a dermatologist, and ask him about a topical medicine named Elocon. It takes about one week or so to work.

Doxycycline is a wonderfully useful broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic. Since you got it from your dermatologist, I would assume that you have an acne or other skin problem. All tetracycline drugs accumulate in skin and bone tissues, so they are very beneficial and useful for infections of those regions.\n\nIt is safe to use and works great. If you are a female, however, make certain that you are not pregnant. Pregnancy would be a major contraindication for using any member of this drug family.\n\nFor additional information, you can go to WebMD.

ah sounds like a contact dermatits rash. stop using that lotion you may be allergic to it and how well do they clean that tanning bed hummmm you may have some funky stuff growing on you. to be on the safe side go and let a doctor look at it. If it itches as you said the best thing to put on it is hydrocortisone cream you can buy that over the counter you can get that anywhere.
