baby,

I don't know if you remember but I told you that I was having the same problem with my face being itchy. Well last night around 2am i was trying to lay down and sleep but my face was just to itchy. So I got up to put anti-itch stuff on. And started to get a panic atttack so so mym mom in my room to stay with me and we ended up looking all my pills and creams up to see there side effects and the klaron's side effects said itchy, rash small red bumps, so blah blah blah. At first I was thinking that it was the prenisone be/c it said it causes acne and itchy and blah blah but the bumps around my jawline really don't even look like pimple you know. So I called the derm dr (I was going to just wait till the 16th when my appointment was but I was getting worried) and he said that it does sound like I'm allergic to the klaron and to stop all topicals and stay on the pills. So it looks like it's the same thing for both of us. He told me to just wipe my face with a warm wash cloth (but it's too rough it rips my pimples) and to put that cortaid on my face.

Well I don't think it is just the Klaron that I am allergic to because it itches when I apply just the differin at night too! I just don't understand it. I almost had a panic attack about it too isn't that weird? I think I am gonna wake up in the morning and apply only moisturizer after I wash and see what happens. If I don't itch then I'll know it is the topicals doing this. I just didn't want to stop the topicals because I feel like they are my only hope! I have a huge whitehead on my chin but other than that I am pretty clear but I had NO pimples at all while on the doxy. I got this big whitehead after I stopped it. Could that be a sign my face is about to start breaking out again?

My derm told me that it will take a couple days for the itching to stop be/c they (the topicals) are in my skin now you know. So give it a couple days. But really I would be a little afraid not to be on something. You said your face was fine on a bc pill why.... oh yea you said you are on yasmin now right? I think in a couple months when your body gets used to it (I dont know how long u've been on it ) but be/c your body is still not normal be/c of going off doxy I think u will be fine. Maybe on period time u may get one but i think u'll be fine. Oh and you are going on spiro or just started it? I think i remember talking to you about it? but i dont remember maybe you should think about going on that if you aren't already. I'm on day 16. I can't wait for this all to be over!!

I was on Alesse for over two years and never had acne in my life. Then I stopped it for about 3 months cause it made me gain weight and I wanted to lose some. That is when my face started breaking out really bad. I went to the derm. and he put me on Doxy, Klaron, Differin and Yasmin. I started them all at the same time so I really don't know which one worked the best. Well it has been 2 years of consistent use of all of those. My derm. wanted me to stop Doxy. so I still use everything else just not that. That is when this itching started. Last night I used the Differin but I applied less and guess what no itching today? Maybe I have just been overdoing it on the topicals? I don't know guess we will see........

I haven't read through this entire thread so I apologize in advance if somebody else has already suggested this. If your skin is itching, I would suggest finding some sort of light facial moisturizer that contains aloe vera. I hope you find some relief soon!
