Beauty Tips For Body Care
ok so, first off I want to say that my doctor suggested I go off the meds (100mg Minocycline once a day) because it may be causing me stomach distress since I've been taking it for so long.That being said, whenever I'm off the meds, this scalp acne, or whatever you'd want to call it, comes back with a vengeance.Let me outline what I've done, and the timeline of all this.About 3 years ago in the fall, I started getting this bad scalp acne. Ended up seeing my GP about it, and she suggested I go on this Minocycline for a month. Took it for a month, instantly cleared up and then stopped the meds. About a few months later it came back. Took the meds for 2 months this time, cleared up, but then a few weeks after stopping the meds it came back again. So this time she basically suggested I go on the meds for a longer period and stop when I think it might be ok to. At this point, whenever i'm off the meds it comes back pretty quickly, so I decided to stay on them for about a year at this point. Even when I'm on the meds, it doesn't go away completely, but it's very very manageable.All that being said, I'll post an imgur album I made that shows the pimples on my head (apologies for some blurry pictures as I was taking them by myself and it's a little hard to get them behind my head properly), and the products I use.http://imgur.com/a/NCiVzSo every day in the morning, I use that fructis shampoo, and then I switch between the 2 cleansers, so I'll use the green tea one day, and then the spectro gel the next day, and just keep swapping. I then finish with that head and shoulders conditioner. A theory I had was that my scalp was just too dry so I've been conditioning every day in the hopes that that would help the problem. I use the cleansers on my face as well as my scalp. My thought process was "well my scalp is skin, so maybe skin cleansers will help".So that brings me to now. As I mentioned, I've been having some stomach distress, so my gp suggested I go off the minocycline for a month while I'm taking some other meds for my stomach to see if it helps. I went off the minocycline about a week and a half ago, and for the past week I thought my routine was helping keep it in check, but it seems to be coming back at this point.I'm looking for any advice on what I could try using, or what I should change in my routine to maybe help deal with this issue a little better.Thanks in advance. I hope this is the right sub!
