I've been using Dapsone 7.5% Gel for a few weeks now, and while it seems to be helping with my acne, I'm a bit concerned about the potential side effects. The serious side effects listed on the package are pretty scary, especially the ones related to allergic reactions and methemoglobinemia. Has anyone else had any issues with this medication? What do I do if I think I'm experiencing a side effect?

I had a really bad experience with this. I started getting severe stomach pain and had to go to the hospital. Turns out it was pancreatitis. I'm so glad I sought medical help immediately. Be careful everyone!

I had a weird experience with this gel. My lips turned a bit blue, and I felt really dizzy. I stopped using it and everything went back to normal. Scary stuff! Please take the side effects seriously. You should always consult your doctor.

If you're experiencing any severe symptoms, don't hesitate to seek medical help. Better safe than sorry. But it might just be dry skin or oily skin.

I've heard mixed reviews about Dapsone. Some people love it, others had bad side effects. I guess it just depends on your skin type and how your body reacts. Always better to err on the side of caution.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the thought of experiencing methemoglobinemia is pretty scary. It sounds like something out of a medical drama!

Dapsone is a great topical treatment, but it's essential to be aware of any changes in your skin or body. If you notice anything unusual, like severe back pain or shortness of breath, stop using it and see a doctor ASAP.

I've used this gel and it cleared up my acne pretty quickly. But I did experience some itching and redness. My doctor said it's common and to just keep an eye on it. If it gets worse, I should stop using it.
