![Oral Antibiotics for Acne [Acne Treatment]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/33HN26iPUWY/mqdefault.jpg)
Hello Dr. Sam! Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! My dermatologist prescribed epiduo forte which has benzoyl peroxide and adapalene. At the same time he also prescribed an oral antibiotic, lymecycline. I forgot to ask him what's the importance of having both so when I stumbled at your video, I got the explanation I needed. I really appreciate your efforts and you look beautiful by the way. 💕
I went through a bout of pretty bad acne in my early 20s that left me with permanent scarring, and the thing that really helped was clindamycin gel. I went through two tubes and while I still get pimples periodically, I've never had the clusters of painful acne again. Now it's just maintenance with benzoyl peroxide products.
Hi Sam, could you please do a video on Roaccutane/isotretinoin. Indications for its use, different dosing regimes and length of use. I feel there is a lot of misinformation and misconceptions out there about its use.
I love your videos by the way! I've started using retinoids on my skin now because of your advice and I've noticed a dramatic change in its appearance! Couldn't be happier!
This is perfect timing! On my third and final month of oral antibiotics now and was considering whether to ask for another 3 month prescription from my dermatologist. I’ve only started usig my epiduo daily this month- was slowly introducing it at first. You’ve definitely given me some food for thought here. Thank you Dr Sam for continuosly putting out great content!
@@jemanddegall9567 yes I ended up doing 6 months in total. It was very helpful in getting things under control and giving me time to bring in the epiduo into my skincare routine as slowly as my sensitive skin needed.
I was prescribed the exact 3 things you spoke about at the start, really hoping they'll work out
Hi! Could you please make a video about Roaccutane? Realistic expectations, how it will affect our skin and health, and any other tips.
Such a useful video. Thank you so much Dr Sam !
Great video! Your lip color looks lovely! 💗
Sam, thanks for doing this video as its a much debated topic. Cheers, Davin
Thanks Davin! x
@Buttbanging Trannyliberal BAHAHAHAHAHHA what the fuck is this comment I’m actually dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
can u please do the acne skin care regime
Your skin looks so youthful in this video!
Beautiful skin Dr Sam x
I was on doxycycline for 2 years and it caused me to get esophagitis, now I am on septra and I hope it works.
Can you do one on antibiotics used for boils. and how to then get off antibiotics. How do you deal with boils, are there alternatives to antibiotics? Thank you so much
Dr Sam can you do an in-depth video just on lasers?
What are the long term side effects of using antibiotics? Have been on Lymecycline for est 2 years now
I use lymecycline not just for my face but also for my back and chest but even then it has not stopped my breakouts entirely during my period I get hormonal break outs n I stopped one time and it all just came hurtling back worse than ever, I've been on them 4 months consistently and I do use retinoids and acids of stuff alongside but I don't think I could go completely without the antobiotics
Yes I would love to know your thoughts on duac
Hi! I’m very curious about your take on spironolactone for acne and long term use of it. Any thoughts are hugely appreciated! Love your videos, so helpful, informative and interesting!
Laura Stern would love to hear her c thoughts on this too! I use the same antibiotic and has been on it for a long time now.
I have some tetracycline pills that I’m supposed to take two of every night while also applying a benzoyl peroxide gel every night - my doctor recommended this. Is it still ok? It’s only going to be for 3 months, as I’ll make a visit to the doctor after that period of time. I don’t want to overuse antibiotics, so please tell me if it’s okay :)
Doctor, which Doxycycline is better for acne with/without Lactic Acid Bacillus?
The results of antibiotics were near immediate, 4 days and it got way better. But it was injections. As well as immediately came back after treatment. I was getting treated for staphylococcus aureus for 4 weeks i think.
I know this is an old post, so not sure you'll reply. But. Benzol Peroxyde is an antibacterial agent. I have the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Lavant B5 face wash, which is also supposed to be antibacterial. My question is whether this will do (next to Lymecycline and Retinol serum), or should I get a benzol peroxyde face was or cream as you recommended in your video? Thanks
Thanks for information
Are you able to please explain how to use Benzoyl Peroxide alongside Retrieve .05%?
ive been on and off my antibiotics for the past 2 years. have i got the antibiotic resistance.
so i was using lymecylcine (antibiotic) for about 6 months and stopped using duac at around 5 months. It comes to month 7 and my skin is doing fine but i have a few ting spots (nothing i’ve had before but nothing like the acne i had). After watching your video i now understand why. It’s because when i got off the antibiotics i was not using duac... now i’m using benzoyl peroxide by acnecide (duac is too strong) and i’m going to continuously use it even when my skin is clear. is this the right thing to do? thank you x
Can you take antibiotic cream for face and adapalene simultaneously?
I’ve been prescribed Erythromycin for my acne but mainly want it to gel with the red spots I get is it good for this?
on tetracyclin for 2 weeks now, i dont have any active acne anymore, only the red spots and scars left. doctor said i should be on it for 3 months, but after watching about all the side effects i really feel bad being on it. im not using anything else.
Thank you
I like your channel :-) It looks like you are recording this video while on the loo.
What is this retinoids? I took accutain in the past now u have some acne again an my doctors just prescribed me Lymecycline.. so annoyed I’m in my 30’s an have this ! Thank your for the video helpful to know more
Thank you for a very informative video. May i ask, what is your thoughts on Niacinamide. Thank you.
no response loser lmao
Will Tamoxifen react with doxycycline medication?
I ve come offmy topical antibiotic..and my acne got sooo bad...😢😢...i m back on it now and using a higher strenght Retin A...hopefully i will be able to weine off my cream completely..ive benn struggling 4 EVER! Almost 40 yrs old...NOTHING i haven t tried..thnx for the great info 👍
Same. Only Roaccutane cleared my skin (for 14 months) now coming back again. Hope you find something that works for you.
Sarah Goodwin thnx Sarah u too! I did accutane a few yrs ago...worked wonders..thought it cured me! Back at it again...will focus more on Retin A now....see if that has any "permanent" affect...u are not alone!😉
Dr Sam you talk about using topical Retin A and benzoyl peroxide.....would this be together or one product at night the other in the morning?
BPO in AM and retinoid or retinol in P.M.
Super useful video, thanks Dr Sam. I’ve just started my third tube of Duac gel since August 17. Luckily it worked a dream on my acne (under the skin bumps, whiteheads and blackheads on lower third of face and down jawline, typical area for female adult acne!) I only wish I went to my GP sooner as I suffered in silence for 2 years and really lost my self confidence. I’ve been told that although Duac gel does contain clyndamycin, it’s okay to use long term. However I do consume fermented foods and kefir as a safety net or peace of mind really, as I don’t want my skin to become resistant to the gel. Would you advise my next step to start using a retinoid and azaelic acid as you describe here? Maybe every 3 nights? My skin is almost clear, I just have a few very stubborn under the skin spots, not cystic and the Duac just isn’t seeming to work it’s magic on them!
thank you for this video! i just got prescribed an antibiotic and isotretinoin gel by my dermatologist (i suddenly, in a matter of a few months, got what seems to be hormonal acle but i havent done any tests yet so we're waiting and its an interim treatment until we know whats going on) and i was a bit scared of how its going to work ^^ ive heard so many horror stories about acne coming back after antibiotics so i started freaking out...
Dr. Sam, where are your earrings from!?!
Dr. Sam you look like Amy Adams! And you're even more gorgeous!
I used high dose tetracyclines for a month or two and it dried me up everywhere, the skin and a lot more. it’s tmi going forward so it dried me up in the gi (poop wasn’t forming), I lacked vaginal secretions, dry eyes, I even blame getting pneumonia due to thick consistency of mucus and also very salty tasting. And I’ve had issue not being able to get pregnant and I’m started to think that maybe this antibiotic has affected my endometrial lining? Any info on this? I know there’s not much research on this topic ...
How are u now are your symptoms better I also took some and hv same problem like u!
Do you think zinc is good for treating acne? Topically & Orally?
I used to take a zinc supplement. Didn’t work.
Can you please make a video about microneedling with PRP for acne scars? Do you believe that PRP is effective for acne scars? Thank you.
You’re asking someone who’s never had acne to do a micro needling video. This person clearly has never had acne.
@@laprechaun12 she's a dermatologist she should know about it. She never responded to any of my comments from 3 years ago or addressed it in a video. Anyways I've had 6 microneedling sessions and it is midly effective, not worth 600$ a treatment.
Benzoyl peroxide works great in theory, but I feel like it should be said that I could cause permanent damage if used incorrectly.
@Mrs Me scarring, premature aging, dryness, etc.
@Mrs Me spot treatment only. Only at night, not during day. No longer than 8 hours in any 24 hour period.
You looking super model
12 yrs on antibiotics until I found Accutane however damage has been done. I stopped antibiotics almost 10yrs ago now and still must take acidophilus every single day. I wish this was not the go to doctors prescribe first for acne its not that helpful and is dangerous in ways we don't yet understand. Its terrifying to think of
Hi, was damage done by antibiotics, accutane or both? I’m considering accutane but am worried my hair will fall out.
@@msi8311 antibiotics did the damage and your hair isn't likely to fall out
@@msi8311 Accutane was totally worth it for me. Wish I'd taken it sooner actually
I took antibiotics for around over a year and let me tell you it damaged my immune system before I never got sick and now I easily get sick I really regret taking them and I wish I did a different treatment like Acutane but my GP wasn’t very informative and just put me on antibiotics with out much information. I recommend doing research before treating your skin to find the best treatment for yourself!
Alexia P but did your acne come back once you stopped taking the antibiotics?
M M yes my acne did come back so I started taking the contraceptive pill after a few months off antibiotics and I was put on one which was acne friendly. It has since significantly improved my skin.
Im59 and was told by dr take minocycline which works. My dermatologist say stop them now,,, it’s all returned. Who do I believe
I rather take antibiotics cuz Accutane damage my skin tissue And I have bunch of scars Open pores Skin problems😔
Were you eating healthy? Eat healthy to maintain a strong immune system where on antibiotics or not. Herbal teas, oil of oregano, black seed oil, etc.
Wow. I was on that for....10 years? it was the active ingredient in birth control pills. (All the fancy names sound alike to me.)
Hi, I got a prescription for atibiotics together with epiduo alomst a year a go. I took the pill for three months and my acne cleared up. Not long after I noticed the acne comming back so I started using the epiduo again. My skin got better, but everytime I try to stop using it my skin breaks out (and I do have smaller breakouts while using the epiduo as well), so I went back to my doctor and she wanted to prescribe a new round of atibiotics. So, I wonder if it will help this time since it clearly only worked temporary the last time, or should I get something stronger? (Also I thought for a while that it could be hormonal, but I checked my hormones, and they were normal)
My story
hi! how are dealing with acne now? any update?
I've just been prescribed lymecycline but I play sport to quite a high level and am worried that the antibiotics will decrease my performance. Is this true?
What happened?
@@tomw8117 Been taking it since I posted that comment, has had no effect
@@tommyc5341 did it help your skin tho
Hello! I've been on Accutane for 9 months now, 40mg per day and I had mild acne. I'm stopping next month and I'm so scared my acne might come back. Should I start retinoids right away or wait? How often is the reappearance of acne after such treatments?
Maria Portokalla hi Maria. I've been on Accutane twice. Fist time for 6 months had a fantastic results but after 5 months my acne cane back. It wasn't as bad as acne I had before first course of Accutane but it really bothered me. Second round on Accutane lasted 5 months and after that no acne. It's been 2years and my face is acne free. Occasionally I will get pimple here and there but that's mostly to do with my hormonal cycle. Don't worry. to much about your acne coming back. It might not happen. But if it does remember that you can always go back on Accutane. X
AGATA GAW thank you so much! It really helps! 😊
What about topical clindamycin mixed with zinc and niaminicide ? (Curology) ? Is it ok to use a topical antibiotic forever ?
Brit I was prescribed Duac (benzoyl Peroxide and Clindamycin) and did curology with the same mix because it was cheaper. I did become resistant when I started the curology so no you can’t use it forever.
Great video, I’ve also been through the antibiotics, topicals and roaccutane cycle. Sadly coming back now - my GP prescribed me Epiduo (0.1% adapalene /2.5% benzoyl peroxide) but it’s bleached my lovely new John Lewis bed linen so stopped using it - can you recommend an alternative? Have jaw line milia causing problems again. Thanks
My dr told me to just stop taking my antibiotic (doxycycline) cold turkey. I quit taking it about 3 days ago and I’m terrified that my acne will come back.
ccap3211 did it come back?
Sophie Evans yep. It definitely did. I’m pretty much back at square one now and my next derm apt isn’t til September
@@Sophschannel_ did it come back even more severe than before ?
I keep thinking her hair is going to catch fire!
I'm just worried her hair is going to catch fire in this..... 🔥 o.o
Lymecycline gives me headaches tinnitus and makes me feel tired 😭
I’m taking them now and do feel extra tired these days too. Are/did they help your acne?
@@sayemarahman2014 they helped me a lot by clearing all my acne but I kept having these symptoms so I went to the doctor, got a blood test and I also have vitamin deficiencies, so it could have been either causing the symptoms. However, in terms of acne they did work.
@@user-fo5zh3yz7j are you off treatment now? Has your acne returned after stopping?
@@walwal6449 turns out it was a severe vitamin deficiency. My acne comes and goes (never as bad as it was a year ago) and I hop on and off lymecycline until it goes away again
Not great advice at all. I’d been on several types of birth control for 20 years to treat my acne. Dr’s always look for the bandaid approach. 3 years ago a dermatologist advised Roaccutane was the answer so I tried it. 6 months later my acne was back. There’s a strong correlation between gut health and acne. What these medications do is destroy the gut health. Focus on diet and environmental factors and see a naturopath. I’d never trust a general gp or dermatologist again. They’re all about bandaid approaches rather than seeking to ascertain the root cause! Very frustrating hearing this as their advice is poor. Research foods that cause inflammation such as dairy and gluten and start eliminating those foods. Stress can also cause inflammation in the body. Drs don’t help with this because if they did they wouldn’t have a job
What exactly is Fopobiacne Secrets? How does this thing really work? I notice a lot of people keep on talking about this popular natural acne remedy.
For anyone struggling with skin problems here's what works for me:
Diet: Eat animal products, except dairy (reintroduce dairy after a month since this might not apply to u, observe any reaction and adjust accordingly)
Make sure to eat plenty of animal fat as energy fuel to avoid using protein as an energy source.
Avoid vegetables and especially grain of any kind. Contrary to what we have been told, these are not good for you. The brainwashing is so strong I probably am losing most readers at this point.
Avoid coffee and tea. The caffeine stresses you out and makes u produce more sebum, both, but especially tea has lots of oxalates, which accumulate in the tissues of the body and does lots of harm (that is the purpose of plant toxins, they don't want to be eaten and have evolved chemical defenses that only herbivores have coevolved to handle).
Avoid sugar and alcohol.
Eating some carbs is fine, I suggest maybe one fruit a day and a few white potatoes and carrots. Like 1-3 potatoes or exchange one of them for like 2 carrots.
Eat organ meat a few times a week, ox liver is a great one. Skin problems are often caused by a deficiency in fat solvable vitamins, especially vit. A. People have been brainwashed to avoid animal fat where these vitamins are to be found.
Avoid fats from plants of any kind, these are terrible for ur health. This includes the overrated olive and recently coconut oil.
Behavior: Avoid stress and minimize masturbation to ones to twice a week. This has nothing to do with morality, but seems to be a hormonal thing. I've noticed masturbation causes acne.
Excercise 2-3 week. Cardio is good for circulation and the lymphatic system. Running, cycling etc. jumping is good for the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system needs movement and shaking since there's no pump like the heart for the vascular system. Sweating is also good for the skin. If u have access to a sauna this is excellent for the skin. Maybe once a week.
