Breakouts Leaving Marks On Face. Prescribed Minoz, Retino A, Clindac, Soframax, Azinine. Irregular Stools After Intake Of Minoz. Right Medication?
Hi!
Recently i experienced few breakouts that left marks on my face. I consulted a dermatologist for this and am advised to take vitamin A two times a day with Minoz od 100 for initial 6 days and minoz 50 for next 9 days. I am also asked to apply Retino A at night and clindac in morning. Soframex and azinine for spot treatment.
I may be wrong, but since when i started having Minoz, i started experiencing irregular bowel movement. However, earlier i was recommended Doxyl which worked fine. Thus, can you suggest if this is the right medication and can irregular bowel movement be because of minoz?
Thanks

Yes.minoz causes irregular bowel movements instead use azithromycin 500 mg thrice a week for 4 weeks.clindamycin in the morning and retino-a is ok for acne.the medicines for scars are ok but how far they are helpful is doubtful.instead use chemical peels for scars likee glycolic acid peels .if still no response go for co2laser for 4-6 sittings can cure them
