i have suffered years with acne and my doctor prescribed me clindamycin phosphate lotion...
it helped the first day i used it...it cleared out some bacteria...i guess...but after that...it doesn't do a thing...
i use it every day and night now, but it doesn't seem to do a thing! my acne is still here! and still red! and still gross!
what should i do?
i don't want a medication that is TOO strong because it scares me...the side effects and dangers...
my liver isn't that great so i don't want something that can really harm it...
any recommendations?(doctor prescribed)
thnx
xao:D
ps: proactive does NOT work for me...only the refining mask!

Im 38, had my tubes tied last july and this month I had no period. I feel fine. Im wondering if I really need to see a Dr right now? Am I too young to start going through the change? My mom stopped having her periods at 40.

I constantly feel down about my life.

I don't know how to cheer myself up or provide my own self support.

I am looking for a job and not able to find anything permanent. I am only finding contract positions.

I am worried about my daughter. She is 14 and lived with her Dad in another state. I gave him sole physical and legal custody during the divorce. My ex-husband moved due to job reasons. I live in another state. I tried to go and stay with her, but it did not work because I was staying in my ex-husband's house. It was bad situation overall.

I feel bad when I compare my life to other people's and it makes me feel inferior about myself in that my life has not worked out.

I know that I have to learn to think positive, but its sometimes hard and I don't know who to turn to when I am down. Maybe prayer, but what else?

I dont have a fever though well not yet anyway.

Im feeling so tired, will the side effects just go away in a couple of weeks or are there things I can do and eat to make them go away?

I had a filling that needed to be replaced (told this in a routine dental check up), so I had it replaced. The dentist seemed to have a very hard time drilling out the composit used to fill the tooth with originally. He commented several times that the composit was really hard and he was really drilling away.

Would the fact that the composit was really hard be the reason the tooth is still sensitive after three weeks? Or is there something else wrong? I am afraid if I ask about it, the dentist will say I need a root canal--anyone had anything similar?

Thanks!
