Hi,
You took apidexin for weight loss. And after that you developed acne lesions on face,back,chest and abdomen. I feel that probably the lesions would acneiform eruptions caused by apidexin. It is good that you stopped it. The lesions might take few weeks to few months to go away.
Have patience. Still I would like to suggest...
- cap minocycline 50 mg once a day
- cap vitamin A thrice a day
- retinoic acid 0.012% gel to apply at night on lesions
I hope this might suffice..
Thanks.
