Re: Help - ortho tri-cyclen user for a few years....still acne problems From: Abby (anonymous@obgyn.net) Mon, 10 Jun 2002 13:52:36 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: M.Horn: "Miscarriage" Previous message: Mary: "ovarian remnant syndrome" At Mon, 10 Jun 2002, Lloyd,DS wrote: > >My daughter began taking orth tri-cyclen when she was 16 for sever cramps and it really improved her complextion. Now she is in college and still taking it. The cramps are not a problem, but the acne is very bad. She is trying ProActive along with the orth tri-cyclen, but not having much success. Is it possible to develop an alergy to the drug? Please advise. > >Thank you I would see a dermatologist. Proactiv, sold over the internet and through TV informercials, is mainly benzoyl peroxide, which you can buy more cheaply in drug stores. A dermatologist will probably try oral antibiotics and may give you a script for a benzoyl peroxide with clindamycin (antibiotic) added. There are other options such as Accutane, but proceed with caution if the doctor suggests this first. It should really be used as a last resort if nothing else works and if the acne is truly severe (nodes and cysts that form craters and permanent scars).
