Sooo I went to my dermatologist last week. A mole of mine was darkening and changing shape (we'll be slicing two off in two weeks! Ack! Scared...). Just so happens that my skin has been acting up horribly lately as well.
I just started bc's again. Ortho tri cyclen lo. Many years ago I was on the regular ortho tricyclens. I've only been taking them for 9 days though.
My derm gave me two prescriptions. She gave me one for retina-A which she said to use at night every other night as it can be drying. Then she gave me a script for duac cream/gel which I've never heard of. She said to hold off a week or two to see if the bc's kick in, and then I should apply it in the mornings of the 'off' days (the every 'other' day of the retina-a). She said that both are very drying to the skin, but that it'll really help these humongoid pimples I've been getting lately.
Anyone ever go on a skin regimen like this?
