Dry And Dark Skin, Cuts On Lips After Using Minocycline, Flucanozole For Acne. Treatment Advise?

Hello Sir, Please send your response to YYYY@YYYY . I have acne on back of my shoulders and spread across my arms. I used minocycline, flucanozole and isotretinoin tablets and applied clyndamycin gel. But soon after applying, my face has become very dark and dry. Skin on my face started peeling off in small portions all across face and showing like wounds. Also my lips got severe breaks and getting cured after applying cold cream. Please help me with your valuable suggestions. I am seriously depressed after seeing my face very dark. All of my friends started asking about this.

hi
thanks for choosing hcm

yes minocycline an antibiotic
fluconazole an antifungal
isotretinoin a retinoid
and the gel

good combination therapy indeed,are all these prescribed by a doctor...then you have too much of acne right

but if you have sensitive skin,and if you go to the sun after using the gel,it makes your skin worse

take measures like:
completely clear out your dandruff
take less fatty foods,
go for good diet and exercise
keep your skin away from pollution(use a scarf etc)
try to control cause of acne
reduce your medication
frequent facewash


peeled off skin exposes young sensitive layer of your skin,which is more sensitive and gets pigmented very quickly when exposed to sunlight

so better to stop using the gel
go and meet you doctor
ask him to change the medication

dont worry pigmentation,dark skin can be treated by medication,but only afterr you completely get rid of your acne

so be cool,talk to your doctor and take help accordingly

feel free to cotact me for further queries

thank you
