If you have used Monistat 3 (miconazole nitrate) and experienced an increase or decrease in acne, please tell us about it here. Be sure to include as much information as possible, including when you started taking Monistat, the dosage, other side effects you experienced, and anything else that might be relevant. Acne is sometimes a side effect of prescription drug usage, but other times it has to do with hard-to-track-down lifestyle changes, bacteria in your gut, or nutrient deficiency. In our experience, the best way to treat acne is by eliminating sugar, flour, dairy, caffeine, and vegetable oils from your diet. Supplementing zinc, vitamin b complex, boron, melatonin, and SOD is likely to help as well.

I have struggled with mild to moderate acne .
A while back it cleared up I was using ten percent benzoyl peroxide . I have trouble using moisturizer cause I don’t want it to break me out . Therefore my skin gets dry . I want to know that I didn’t have to live with this the rest of my life in hopes that it won’t get worse the older I get . I have small ones under the surface that never come to a head . I am now trying African formula sulphur soap hoping that that might help I’m really not sure .
