Acne medicine treatment dryness problem?

Hi I recently went to the dermatologist and she prescribed me with the following : Duac Topical Gel, Differin, SFC Lotion and Sodium Sulfetamide 10% Sodium 4% wash.





I use the 3 lotions/gels at night before I goto sleep and the wash twice a day, once in the shower, once before the gels. After I apply everything, my face burns. I thought that was just it working, but when I wake up my face is so dry it's peeling, like I have sunburn. I have no idea if it's just my face getting used to the medicine, so please any help would be welcomedAcne medicine treatment dryness problem?
You should call up your dermatologist and tell him/her what is happening. Applying three lotions/gels at night seems like too much for your skin to handle. Maybe you can try applying them at different times. For example, you can apply Differin in the morning and the Duac and SFC Lotion at night. If your skin is still peeling and very dry then you should apply those things every 3 days and then slowly work yourself up to using it everyday. Again, I am not a dermatologist and I would highly recommend that you talk to him/her about this.





Good luck.Acne medicine treatment dryness problem?
First, I understand where you're coming from. I grew up with really bad acne, not only on my face but on my body as well. It was embarrassing and I tried everything including cleansers, creams, prescription medications, antibiotics, over the counter medications, and even shots from the dermatologist (ouch!) to get rid of it. I never did until many years later when it didn't matter as much.

Here's what I found out after lots of research and trial and error, the hard way.





It's not a topical issue, it doesn't help much to treat it from the outside, it's an inside job. When you treat it from the outside it's like treating the symptoms, not the cause. You'll hear from many people that's not the case, and it's usually because they want you to buy their creams or lotions, and keep buying them month after month after month (or they haven't experienced the truth). Of course, when you stop using it (as you've experienced) your blemishes come back... because you're not treating the cause. And the costs for all of these routines/drugs add up month after month.





If you think about it logically, it makes sense. Why do we get rashes, breakouts, or other skin irritations? It's usually because of something we ate, something that wasn't meant to be put on our skin, something that caused us stress and our body reacts to all those things.





Bottom line is that most every cause of acne is related to what you eat, how you feel and how you take care of yourself. Your skin is a reflection of what's on the inside. We have lots of toxins building up in our systems and they have to be cleaned out on the inside and that will reflect on the outside. The blemishes, rashes, acne, etc are indications that your body is reacting to what you're eating, to stress, toxins, chemicals, hormones... literally a great number of things.





Basically what I did in a nutshell was clean out my system by taking out the processed and junk foods, and added as much fresh fruits and vegetables to my diet as possible. This part is key. I also started drinking a lot of water daily, starting with 3 or 4 glasses when I wake up (adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at times). I also got more active every day, walking, running, sports, jumping, whatever, just getting active. It not only gave me more energy, it help flush out the toxins that were clogging up my system.
