Suggest Treatment For Pimples Caused After Taking Petogen Contraceptive Injection

Posted on Sat, 15 Feb 2014

Question: started using petogen contraceptive injection but iam breaking out badly what can I do?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rahul Kumar (24 minutes later)

Brief Answer: details required Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query. It seems that by breaking out you mean you are developing itchy rashes on skin or you are developing dryness and breaks in the skin. Both can happen with petogen injection but the treatment is different. Please clear my doubt, Explain your symptoms in detail so I can help you better. If possible please upload a photo of the skin rash. Waiting for your response. Thank you

Brief Answer: Hormonal imbalance Detailed Answer: Hello Yes you are correct, It is hormonal imbalance which is causing these eruptions. Usually hormonal contraceptives like petogen also cause some hormonal imbalance and lead to skin eruptions. However these subside with time. A photograph would help me greatly in guiding you better, as treatment varies according to the extent and type of skin involvement. Waiting for your response. Thank you

Brief Answer: acne Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the image. Its acne eruptions. It has happened mainly due to hormonal imbalance. You can continue with petogen. Just start some anti acne therapy. I usually prescribe adapalene gel in night and clindamycin gel in day. It gives good result. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
