| I have had acne for quite some time, and have just been prescribed Minocycline, Retin-A, and Azelex. While I was visiting the dermatologist, I forgot to mention that a couple of times when I popped a couple of pimples on my face, there was excessive bleeding. I also want to add that before I popped them, they had a blue-black look to them; it kind of looked like a blood clot. Is there any explanation for this? Rosie 12-16-1999 | ||
| This is to Rosie-- I had the exact same problem as she did. I got blood tests done and it turned out that I had ITP. I still have acne but it was worsened by the condition. Seriously, get it checked out, if not by having a blood test, just go in to see a doctor, and NOT a dermatologist. No offense to any of the dermatologists, but the dermatologist I had was not prepared to diagnose my condition. He said I had Schomburg's disease . The key thing to recognize with ITP is that you have a rash-like condition on legs and arms that are actually miniature blood clots. Molly 1-22-2000 | ||
| I have been on accutane for 16 weeks now, and had to go off it
because my triglycerides were high. This was the second time I was on
accutane, and now my face is clear. I like the results very much but
have experienced some side effects.<BR> The biggest side effect I experienced was that I didn't have a periods for months. And after I completed the 20 weeks I got my regular periods. I noticed that the blood was darker and brown. I never talked to my dermatologist about it. But is this normal? I am celibate and have never had sex before. Please help. Sinclair Oct 14, 2000 |

| Hello. My son has bad acne. He has tried the salicylic acid stuff and a week or son on Triciclin. The triciclin really helped. However, we went to a dermatologist yesterday and he really, really pushed the Accutane. He did no blood work and I did not sign a release (?) form. I am really concerned about him taking this medication. He is 16 and a really wonderful young man! Shouldn't we have tried other things first or do you think the Accutane is safe?

ITP is the
destruction of "thrombocytes" (clotting cells) by
the immune system in much the same manner as RBCs are
destroyed in
AIHA
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (Platelets) Other autoimmune issues including diabetes & spontaneous infertility Using Accutane has caused ITP * |
Clinical
signs of
this disease include bruising; excessive bleeding following
trauma, at surgery, or during estrus; or
blood
in the urine
or
stool.
Before ITP can be diagnosed, many more common diseases must be ruled out. These include, but are not limited to, warfarin poisoning, various clotting disorders (hemophilia, Von Willebrand's disease), bladder or prostate infection or cancer, and intestinal parasites. A CBC, platelet count, and clotting profile are needed. A bone marrow biopsy is helpful as well, and a Coomb's test may be run if other autoimmune diseases are suspected. (Coomb's test is unreliable Skip it) Transfusion of fresh whole blood or of platelet-rich plasma can be helpful in ITP Source |
