Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 I saw a new derm today for a second opinion. I waited for an hour, but my appointment lasted exactly six minutes. He was friendly (unlike my other Derm) but obviously way too busy to give some kid very much attention. He didnt think I had cea. He thought I had folicular acne (Yah,right, that explains the red, flushed cheeks real well). He wanted to put me on these M.D. Forte products that contain alot of Glycolic acid, and put me on Azalex, and Zithromax, and for me to go off of all my cea medicines. The lady who gave me the samples even said they WOULD cause tons of redness and peeling, and stinging, and soreness, and drying, and patches etc.. Yuck.. like I need that. Anyway, does anyone know anything about Azalex? He said it'd help for cea too.... but the name sounds vaguely familiar, and I think it may actually be a cea no-no... Just wondering if I should give it a try or not. Also debating about whether instead of weening slowly off my Minocycline next month (original plan) if I shouldn't switch to pulse-dosed Zithromax, and then ween off that. (either way I wanna be off antibiotics by the end of the summer, but I'm really afraid of another real bad flare like last time) Definitely not going near the Glycolic acid.
