So, the derma I went to prescribed three topical ointments for me.
One is a Benzoyld Peroxide solution...isnt this just like Oxy or something?
The second is Retin A cream
The third is Erithromycin Topical Gel
She told me to use the Erithromycin first, then the Benzoyl and then the Retin A. These go on top of each other in the affected areas. The Retin A only goes on at night. The other two go on morning and night.
She told me it would take 4 weeks to get any results because my skin will be adjusting to the medications. In the meantime, I can expect blotchy skin, irritation, redness and flaking of the skin.
Anyone used a combination of these before? How did you use them effectively and what were your results?
I have used all three, they don't work upto your expectations and you always still keep breaking out :( - its doesn't entirely solve the problem. its all temporary.
