Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 From October 1999 to March 2000, I used Cleocin-T for rosacea in conjunction with Noritate. At the time I had a sever acne condition, which appears to have resulted from steroid withdrawal. Cleocin-T is a topical antibiotic. The dermatologist instructed me to use it in the morning, instead of a moisturizer, let it absorb into the skin, then apply Noritate on my face. At night I was instructed to use the Noritate alone. At first, this treatment was not all that successful. Three months later I went to see a different dermatologist for a second opinion. He thought that this treatment was appropriate and encouraged me to stick with it. Another three months later, my face began to improve, partially due my discovery of Dr. Sy's Zinco and some dietary changes. Eventually, I stopped the Cleocin-T/Noritate combination and used Zinco alone. I have been in remission for about 14 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 I used it on my skin when my doctor thought I had " acne " and it did nothing. I haven't heard of this as a cea medicine. --- " Do I know you? ;-) " arizonadewd@...> wrote: > Hi folks, my doctor gave me a Rx of Cleocin-T back > in July that I > have yet to fill (it's expensive!).

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Cleocin-T is topical clindamycin, an antibiotic that can result in Clostridium difficile overgrowth resulting in pseudomembranous colitis if taken systemically, but is relatively harmless when used topically. It is used for the treatment of acne with a spectacular lack of success (at least in my case). For whatever it's worth, my advice is to use the money to buy a 1.75 litre bottle of Irish Whiskey and send it to me. > Hi folks, my doctor gave me a Rx of Cleocin-T back in July that I > have yet to fill (it's expensive!).

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Cleocin-T didn't work for me when I tried it as a teenager. I think someone on the board pointed out that the antiobiotic is in an alcohol base (not Irish Whiskey). That's fine if acne is your sole concern, but as a rosacean it may cause trouble.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 At the end of May I added Cleocin solution to my regimin of Tetracycline and Noritate. Nothing happened. Then thanks to a board member I stopped using my toner some weeks ago, and there has been a HUGE improvement. Which of those 4 variables was most significant I don't know, but Cleocin didn't do anything in the areas where I have garden variety type acne, but then it didn't hurt either. > Hi folks, my doctor gave me a Rx of Cleocin-T back in July that I > have yet to fill (it's expensive!).

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 I eliminated or cut back on yeast-containing products (bread, baked goods, beer), sweets and sweetened beverages. I increased my protein and fiber intake and began drinking lots of water. I have not followed a strict diet; I just tried to pay attention to the types of foods I ate and how often I ate them. The Zinco, however made a big differences well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 , I have to agree with you that the ZincO makes the biggest difference for me to calm and soothe the skin. Some have said it has made their skin thicker and reversed the thinning which accompanies inflammation. take care, Matija > > I eliminated or cut back on yeast-containing products (bread, baked goods, > beer), sweets and sweetened beverages.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Hi there - Can you use the Zinco at night? I tried it under my foundation but didn't like the way it blended. It could be because the texture of my skin is not smooth at all. I put the Zinco on and then the foundation and it seems like it's flaky - any suggestions. I wouldn't mind just wearing it at night at least until the texture of my skin smoothes out. Thanks --- ruizdelvizo@... wrote: > , > I have to agree with you that the ZincO makes the > biggest difference > for me to calm and soothe the skin.
