For Acne "Solodyn is great, but unfortunately, the side effects aren't. This product has cleared up my skin, but I had to stop taking it due to its side effects. It made me really itchy, gave me yeast infections, and hives."

For Acne "Solodyn helped get rid of my cystic acne, but I had very bad side effects. It caused me to be itchy all over to the point where I had welts from scratching so much. And most of the time I was itchy in very uncomfortable areas. It was itchy on my scalp, my back, hands, feet, and stomach. Every place on my body itched. After stopping it for three days, I did not have an itch at all."

For Acne "I am on Solodyn for 5 months now, and my first 3 months were bad, and the 4th month got better, but I developed a minor itch on my leg, and I asked the doctor about it. I guess it was one of the drug's side effects. Also, feeling nausea or loopy is what I get sometimes, too! But my back is so much better now, and no acne or inflamed blackheads are slowly clearing up! But I worry about liver damage :("
