itscherry here again...
hi, sorry ive been off for so long. but here is an update on my situation.
i took my few days worth of anti fungal medication...it seemed to help after a few days...was almost cleared, but then i went swimming at out apt complex pool, and there i was back to where i started, the bumps returned, it seemed to make the situation worse. i was given ketoconazole cream to apply, continue the retin a and left to see what would be the results after a month. the cream worked for a month but then the bumps found a way around that cream as well. econazole nitrate was the next cream they gave me, it definatly works better for my body, but the bumps on my face are very aggressive, and i have break outs quite a bit there. after some time, i began getting cystic acne on my chin(which they say is hormonal) but i think is related to all thats going on. so i was given an antibiotic minocycline(50 mg) for the cystic acne. this real did nothing for the cystic acne, but it seemed to be controlling the breakk out rate of the pityrosporum folliculitus. upon returning to the doctor i was give 100 mg minocycline, and within a week, my skin was completely clear, no cystic acne no pityrosporum. was so happy. but then, wouldnt you know it, my body has trouble processing medication, and i started to hurt and feel sick, creating drug induced lupus, i had test done for this, lots of test. its funny ive delt with drug induced lupus for long time now, but again the doctors never could pin point an answer, so many test, no answers, fun thing is, i figured it out before they did, if only doctors would listen to us more, we might get better answers and more quick resolve. every time i would take an antibiotic...ones ive taken and had this issue with...cephalexin(cephalosporin) , doxycycline(tetracycline), minocycline(tetracycline), and also an anti depressant called Desipramine (tricyclic). all causing mucle pain, spasms, chest pain, and once almost fainting. after stopping the meds, after a month the symptoms would disappear, because the symptoms persisted after stopping the meds i never put two and two together(i had been on the meds for a lot longer the previouse times, this time was only about a month and a half), until till just this last time i began having pains, i stopped the meds and within 2 days the pains were less and with in 2 weeks the chest pain was gone. anyway, now im stuck with bumps re appearing once again. if you have pitrosporum, you might want to ask your doctor for an anti biotic to see if it may help you...the ones that worked for me, was cephalexin and minocycline, doxycycline did nothing but made it worse. im not sure why these antibiotics work, but they do,. supposedly if you use antibiotics for yeast infections it will make it worse, but i had amazing results. just tell him or her that you would at least like to try it, what will it hurt if he gives you a month dose to see the outcome. i know they say over use of antibiotics causes mutations in bacteria, and can harm u from over use, but if this stuff was on your face, youd agree its worth a try. since i can no longer take the anti biotic, ive been trying more natural approaches. im drinking coconut water and apple cider vinegar with mothers(not processed) twice a day. they both taste awful to me, so i mix the coconut water with orange juice and cranberry juice(which is also good for you) and the vinegar i put 3 to 4 table spoon in a half gallon of water,(i dont mix it, just drink it as fast as i possibly can) please read up on these two items before drinking, on benefits as well as precautions, as you should brush your teeth after drinking the vinegar...it will erode the enamel on your teeth is very acidic. i also bought neem face mask powder from local Indian grocery store. mixed coconut water with the neem, also put in small amount of lemon juice, not too much will burn your skin. i alternate the coconut water with Epsom salt water and vinegar, just to change it up. i also use the vinegar and which hazel as a toner after i wash of the mask. Epsom salt is good for pulling toxins and is an anti fungal its good for the body, so i soak in it once a week. you can also drink it, but i have yet to try it. so far it it seems to help some, but is drying to the face, after i do my face mask, rinse and apply toner, i use my anti fungal cream(highly moisturizing). i apply extra cream to spots i see, and it helps clear them faster. i am looking into more options and treatments. but first id like to see how this works after a month or so. please do research before trying any treatment on your own. ill be back to check in once again in month or so.
