I'm wondering if any of you have used Proactive or other skincreams/products for skin issues that are caused by your tablets?
I take MS Contin (among other things) and have been this dose of it for about a year, but have spent the past 6-7 years of my RSD on either MS Contin or Oxycontin. On smaller doses of MS Contin, my skin wasn't an issue, but now I'm on 80mg a day, I have a new spot/blemish appearing nearly every day.  I could buy shares in concealers, lol.
I know medication-caused skin problems don't always respond the same way as "normal" skin problems do, but for those who've had this issue as well, did Proactive or other products help clear your skin up?
Can anyone recommend anything that might help?
It's kind of ironic that I had perfect skin as a teenager, but now have teenager skin in my 30's 
Thanks guys xxxx |
Hi Cake, I'm missed you, thanks for the information. Philosophy is a great product-I've been to the factory, which was formed and built here in Phoenix.
There is another product that I use-Neutragena 'Acne on the Spot' The sore red dots that pop up hurt, and the cream dries them up. I also use a mild wash called Purpose that doesn't irritate the skin.
Cake, I think of you all the time. How are you? I can't even fathom what you are going thru. One of my best friends' son died when someone ran a red light. It's been 3 years now and we can't talk without crying. I was close to him too. Just a couple years older than my only daughter.
Please PM me if you feel comfortable. Please give my love to your children and husband. Your friend, loretta
