Acne on adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): This is not a reported side-effect. Rarely, a person can develop rash if allergic to adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine).

Question 2

is there anything like adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) that doesn't cause acne?

Accepted Answer

no common : Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) does not typically cause acne.  If you are seeing an association in time between the two of them it may be coincidental, especially if in an adolescent. Other causes should be discussed with provider as well as treatment options for the acne that will not interfere with the stimulant medication.

Other meds: You could try vyvanse, (lisdexamfetamine) which may not cause you acne that you are experiencing with the adderall, otherwise you could talk to dr. About switching to one of the long-acting methylphenidate or Ritalin preparations that is available. Strattera is another option. Please discuss other options with your psychiatrist. Good luck to you.

Question 4

can i take creatine + adderall xr + minocin (minocycline) (acne), at the same time ?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for asking!: Should be ok, but please do check with your doctor to make sure.

Question 5

what causes a severe acne breakout on the chest?

Accepted Answer

You may never know: Acne often flares without explanation. Acne on the trunk usually requires at least one systemic medication. If you're a female, the oral contraceptive pill may clear you if it's right for you. Or a combination of topical benzoyl peroxide and a systemic antibiotic for a while may be all you need to get clear. Acne's not curable but eventually remits. Best wishes.

Question 6

does levothyroxine cause acne breakouts?

Accepted Answer

Acne: I see of thyroid patients and can't recall any with acne. Please see your doctor or a dermatologist.

Question 7

what foods can cause acne breakouts and what could i do to prevent it?

Accepted Answer

Myth: Controlled tests show diet has little to do with acne. With today's rx's, even in a dysfunctional health care system, all acne should be manageable. If your problem is intermittent, a systemic antibiotic begun when a breakout seems imminent may be the cornerstone of effective treatment, perhaps with a topical agent. Good luck.

Question 8

Question 9

i'm 41 with acne. it's mostly hormonal, but i noticed it gets really bad when i have a lot of milk in my diet. can milk cause breakouts?

Accepted Answer

Try limiting : More than five servings of dairy (milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc.) may increase acne breakouts in some women. Try to control your dairy intake for a few weeks and see if the acne improves.

Question 10

can stress cause and acne breakout?

Accepted Answer

Not by itself: Stress is good when it pushes you to do things that are good for you and others, bad only when you're  helpless or don't know how to cope. Serum cortisol, your best stress hormone, has a slight tendency to worsen acne. Instead of trying a pseudoscientific  "stress-reliever" protocol, you owe it to yourself to get 21st century treatment for your acne. Being a young adult is stressful enough!
