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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.
