What's the best way to treat acne caused from ulcerative colitis?
by BB149, Oct 03, 2008 05:01PM
My 23 year old daughter was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis several years ago. One of the symptoms she developed was cystic acne, which we were told can be caused by the colitis. She's presently on Liadyl and her ulcerative colitis is under control but the cystic acne will not go away. She goes to the dermatologist constantly for injections, but the cysts just go down for a day and come right back up again. The dermatologist has given her a few prescriptions but nothing helps at all. She took Accutane for one week and ended up in the hospital with a severe colitis attack. She never had a problem with acne until 4 years ago when she developed the ulcerative colitis.Is there any product out there that may be helpful to my daughter's situation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Any other colitis sufferers out there taking oral acne treatment? If so, what works for you?
Many thx and remission wishes for all.
