Antibiotics and Fungus

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering.. Since going on antibiotics I've developed Seb Derm and

" Follicular acne " that follows an insanely weird pattern. (Clear skin before

Minocycline at 18 years old, terrible skin a year later, even tho Minocycline

prevents acne! And 50 " zits " often appearing after eating certain foods..often

just red circles underneath the skin. It just CANT be typical teenage acne, it

doesnt act like it at all! Also had a weird Ringworm-looking rash on my right

arm. And weird temporary rashes that I get when I shower, and fungus under my

toenails. My derm doesn't think that I have an underlying condition causing all

this, even though they ALL appeared w/in a few months of each other. (The odds

of developing Seb Derm, Perioral Derm, Ezcema, Follicular acne while on

Minocycline, nail fungus, shower rashes, food problems, all at the same time

with 7 different causes has got to be a million to one shot) In addition to

this i've had several other health probs (frequent colds/sorethroats, increased

environmental sensitivities to scents/allergens) I'm not being a hypochondriac,

because most of these problems are all very visible, and I can't fake

sneezing/coughing. Even still my derm doesnt think thers something causing it

all, and the two derms I've seen told me my problem was not fungus-related

(w/out even running any sort of test or listening to a history or anything) Is

there something diagnostically-necessary that my case is missing in order for it

to be fungus-related?

Pitysprorum Ovale is implicated in Seb Derm and overgrows w/longterm antibiotic

use. Longterm Minocycline use causes Pitysprorum folliculitus (follicular

acne), all the other problems can be caused by a systemic fungal infection(such

as candidiasis), and on a take-it-yourself candidiasis test, I scored a 145,

where anything above 140 was " almost certainly a yeast-related illness " .

As far as I'm aware of, there is no condition on the face of the earth that

mimics the appearance of Seb Derm, Perioral derm, Ezcema, rashes, AND Follicular

acne all at once. There are a few underlying conditions that can cause every

single one of these. The only conditions I know of that can cause all these are

severe vitamin deficiencies and a yeast problem. Why won't my docs/derms take

either of these possibilities seriously? Not one of them has given me an answer

as to why my problem couldnt be caused by this other than to say " because thats

not what it would look like " and at the same time no one has been able to give

me an answer as to what actually IS wrong. I could really use some help I'm

tired of worrying about this all the time
