I've been on Diane 35 for about six months, but I stopped three months ago. Now my acne is starting to come back. What can I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Diane 35 is a hormonal contraceptive that's often prescribed to treat acne, especially in women. However, it's not uncommon for acne to return after stopping the medication.
Why Acne Returns After Stopping Diane 35
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Diane 35 regulates hormonal imbalances, which can help control acne. When you stop taking the medication, hormonal fluctuations can lead to acne recurrence.
- Underlying Skin Issues: Diane 35 may have been masking underlying skin issues, such as clogged pores, bacterial growth, or inflammation. When you stop taking the medication, these underlying issues can resurface, leading to acne.3. Consider Alternative Acne Treatments: Your dermatologist may recommend alternative acne treatments, such as:
- Topical retinoids
- Benzoyl peroxide
- Salicylic acid
- Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalances are suspected)

I had some fish earlier and then drank buttermilk about an hour later. Now, my dad mentioned that combining the two might lead to skin issues. I'm kind of worried since I already had the buttermilk. Is there something I can do to prevent any skin problems, or is there anything I should be on the lookout for?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that simultaneous intake of milk and fish is harmful to the body or skin in any way.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results that show an IgE level of more than 2000. I've been dealing with eczema for a while now, and it's been quite challenging. Also, my WBC count came back at 12,000. Can you help me understand what these numbers might mean for my health? Is there something specific I should be worried about or focus on addressing?
Based on your IgE levels being more than 2000 and your history of eczema, it indicates a strong allergic response in your body. To help manage your symptoms, you can take antihistamines like Cetirizine 10mg once daily. In addition, for your eczema, you can use a topical corticosteroid like Hydrocortisone cream twice daily on the affected areas
