I have heard that there are some antibiotics that they sometimes use to treat acne. I did notice that one time when I was on antibiotics for a bad sinus infectiont that my face started clearing up some!

Yes, I have tried antibiotics for acne. I can not remember the specific antibiotic. There are some uncomfortable side effects of the antibiotic: you have to stay out of the sun, there is a good chance if you take the pill on an empty stomach you will become nausea and I know many women get yeast infections due to the chemical change in their bodies antibiotics cause. Another thing that freaked me out a bit was the dermatologist told me she had to check to see if my gums where blue because that type of antibiotic had been known to do such a thing. Sure would have been nice to know that BEFORE I had been taken it for a month. Luckily my gums did not turn blue. In my opinion if you have tried EVERYTHING else and you have extremely bad acne get the antibiotics otherwise steer clear.

I would never go to antibiotics for my acne problem. I do not see acne to be that much of a problem. I think getting a prescription medicine for acne is taking things a little to far.

Wow I did not know there could be so many side effects from taking the antibiotics that doctor's sometimes prescribe to help with acne.

You have to be very careful about taking antibiotics aside from risks you can become immune to various antibiotics.
