Confused About Choosing Between Zineryt and Baziron

I've read that many people use Zineryt, then Baziron for prevention. I used Zineryt once, it's a great product. But then I got used to it. Now I don't know, I haven't used it for 2 months. Although I first applied it about 3 years ago, and then took a break. Now I want to buy Baziron! But maybe I should also buy Zineryt? Is Baziron for acne or post-acne?

Recurring Cystic Acne after Dydrogesterone: Seeking Advice

Here's the situation. I've had spots since I was 13... the usual kind that go away on their own after a couple of weeks. Three years ago, they found an ovarian cyst and prescribed me dydrogesterone without any tests. God, it was a nightmare, or rather hell, my face was covered in deep spots like bumps, pus and blood came out, leaving terrible scars. I went to another gynaecologist who explained that this was a side effect of dydrogesterone and prescribed me Jess, my face noticeably cleared up and I was happy for 2 years but then yesterday a deep cystic spot appeared again and I don't know what to do with it, I'm afraid that my whole face will be covered with them again ☹️ and what's the cause? I haven't taken anything else... girls, who has dealt with this plague?? how?? I'm already thinking about isotretinoin but they say you can't take it in the summer... help 😢

Persistent Facial Breakouts: Allergy or Other Causes?

Hello, ladies! I've been troubled by facial breakouts for over 1.5 years now, and I'm currently 20. Like many, I've seen such doctors as a dermatologist, cosmetologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, and have had ultrasounds of my thyroid, kidneys, and adrenal glands - everything is perfect everywhere. Not a single pathology. Hormones are normal. I had no issues with my face during puberty, I went through that period calmly. But at 19, frequent breakouts started. Peelings don't help, even a competent cosmetologist admitted this. I might have demodex, but I've completed a course of using "Yam" ointment, daily disinfection of bed linen, etc. Also, my family and I moved to a private house exactly 1.5 years ago, besides the fact that this was a major stress for me, we also have 2 dogs and 1 cat in our house. I love the cat very much, but I have allergies to cats, birds, and ragweed. I've adjusted to the cat, I don't sneeze and my nose doesn't run when in contact. Could it be that the cat allergy is reflected in the form of breakouts? The only doctor I haven't seen is an allergist, tell me, is it worth going for an expensive consultation and subsequent tests? Or is the problem obvious? I'll be glad for every answer!

Teen Struggling with Severe Acne Seeks Medical Help

A massive thank you to everyone who has come here. At this moment in time, I have second-degree acne. I'm 17 years old. I'll explain in more detail what I've been using in the comments. Currently (on doctor's advice), I'm taking ornidazole (Gairo), and my stomach hurts terribly. Externally: Zinerit lotion and the dreadful Skinoren. Subcutaneous pimples have started to appear. There's no Demodex (i.e., everyone has it, but it's not active). They took a hair from my head and another test for sensitivity to antibiotics. I'll soon go to the dermatologist, I want to have a blood test for hormones and start taking them, plus isotretinoin. I simply have no strength left. DON'T think that I'm *****, I've read more than 80% of the information about acne. Everything is pointing to this. (my face is getting worse every day) p.s My dad suffered from acne until he was 22.
