Aczone Causing Bleeding

Hello,

As some of you might be aware I have been going through some serious health issues surrounding my celiacs disease and have a blood test as well as a breath test tomorrow morning to try and get this condition under control.

My doctor prescribed me dapsone gel 5% and I applied it to the little bumps on my finger for the first time a few hours ago. The little bumps appear to be drying up in rapid fashion, to the point that they are actually lightly bleeding, is this normal, or have any of you ever experienced such a thing?

I will be at the doctor's office in the morning and am considering forgoing tonight's application. Please advise if you have had similar experiences. Thank you!!

If you are seeing the doctor tomorrow and aren't sure about the medication you should be fine waiting until tomorrow to use it again.  Sometimes that kind of drying is intended.  You can also talk to your pharmacist about it, and they can let you know.

Aczone IS Dapsone only in topical form. I have never used it so I can't say what's normal.

I've used both without any negative issue.      Aczone Gel works Great and doesn't require blood labs.

I was using Aczone on my 4yr and it dried her skin up too, to the point where I stopped using it.  however i tried a few weeks later and applied it with a bit of coconut oil and it worked a treat , it dried up the wounds and closed up the punched out holes in her skin which were very deep.

I used a lot of coconut oil virgin unrefined (from trader Joes in a jar )  on her skin to keep it hyrdated 4 times a day.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this relevant/helpful on Celiac.com.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we can't guarantee 100%, but it's likely safe category." I'm wondering if it is worth switching to Amneal or at least getting my thyroid levels checked. If the med is causing my symptoms, I'm guessing it's not because of gluten but maybe the potency is different from Mylan and I need different dosing. Accord was recalled for lower potency, but my pharmacist said the pills I have were not part of that lot.

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.
