Answer 5

Acne treatments tend to dry skin.

Buy an all natural exfoliator and massage it on your face, and wash out with warm water.

and use a good moisterizer.

Answer 6

Well maybe the cream is over drying your face, which causes peeling. You should cut down using the cream...maybe just once a day would be better. Also when you're washing your face you should use warm water. If you use hot water it will cause peeling. Hope I helped. (:

Answer 7

you should stop taking that stuff the same thing happened to my sister

you cant go in the sun or anything

the best thing to get rid of acne is clearasil face wash

Answer 8

If this is not something that is going away...I would go back to your dematologist.

Answer 9

i would say you should take a few days not using the tetracycline also put a cold wash cloth on your face if its peeling and always keep it mosturized. if your acne has gotten better you should proabbly stop take the tetracycline alltogether and just wash your face everyday,

Answer 10

i recommend you talk to your dermatologist; it's probably a side affect.

but other than that, stop using it.

Answer 11

Answer 13

call up your dermatologist and tell him about the problem he may have something else for you to use

Answer 14

I thought I was the only one,

I also don't know what to do...

I'm sorry

Answer 15

Dear Samantha,

It is natural for your skin to peel because of the tretenoin, do not scratch it or else it will worsen and that i think happens....

Go back to your dermatologist and tell him/her about it and to start new treatment program...

next time... ask the pros and cons of the medication and how to manage their adverse reaction,

do not be afraid of askng your dermatologist, iot is her/his obligation to let you know about it

you need to work it out with your dermatologist to get rid of your acne/ or atleast manage it before it will ruin your face

good luck
