How soon during pregnancy do you start getting yeast infections?
How soon during pregnancy do you start getting yeast infections?
It been 12 days since i had intercourse so its not quite time to test yet but Im scared that i got pregnant. I have no signs but just a feeling. Is there any sign i can look for to detect pregnancy this early. I know a yeast infection is no sign but its just weird that I have one.
Nothing I do gets rid of my acne. How can I control it?
I have never had a problem with acne before, but recently, it became extremely bad, especially on the sides of my face. I don't get deep acne, but rather, hundreds of little whiteheads. And every day, I seem to get more and more. I also think I am beginning to get acne scars on the sides of my face.
I cannot figure out why I'm suddenly having such horrible acne. My mom thinks it's because I wear liquid cover up every day and she says that all liquid cover ups clog your pores. Is this true? Do you think if I stopped wearing liquid cover up, my acne might reduce? I'm also a teen, and my hormones, I know, are out of control right now. (Having a lot of "girl" problems because of hormones too.)
I don't know what to do. I've tried many acne treatments. No over the counter treatments (Clearasil, Proactive, etc) work for me. Then I tried Differin. I had a horrible reaction which resulted in me spending half the night with my face under the faucet. I'm now using Benzaclin, which mildly reduces my acne but not nearly as much as it should.
Should I see a dermatologist? The only thing is, I don't know what they can do to help me.... Because I've already tried almost every acne treatment. My doctor said that a dermatologist could prescribe be antibiotics for acne, but it might cause yeast infections and there's NO WAY I am taking that chance. She also suggested birth control, however, my mom won't let me go on it, and I understand, because I have read about birth control being linked to cancer.
Please help!!
I'm afraid of vaginal yeast infections caused by oral antibiotics. Should I just refuse to take them?
I just went to a dermatologist for acne treatment. I said I was interested in Accutane because it's the only thing that might "almost cure" acne by shrinking the oil glands. I knew that Retin-A and other toipical gels/creams may cause serious irritation, or they just might not work. Even if they do work and cause no irritation, I don't want the hassle and financial burden of having to use it every day for years.
Aware of the risks associated with Accutane, I wasn't surprised when she suggested that I try oral antibiotics and Retin-A first. I voiced my concern about antibiotic resistance, but she said it would only be 2 months before I next see her. She said some people even took antibiotics for years. Not having enough information at hand, I agreed to her prescriptions: Retin-A & antibiotics.
Now I'm at home reading and discovered that antibiotic resistance can develop after 2 months and may cause yeast infections. I hate doing this to myself. Should I call her and refuse the pills?
Note: I do NOT have yeast infections! I'm mainly concerned that
1. oral antibiotics may cause yeast infections in the future.
2. oral antibiotics may cause antibiotic resistance in as little as two months.
I'm thinking of just using the Retin-A or other topical gels now for my acne. And if that doesn't work, I'll just ask for Accutane again.
