Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 I started taking antiobiocs in jan last year due to rosacea. At that time I didn't have much acne it was more tiny pimples on the nose if I had flushed....I had great skin on antibiotics but after 3 months when I stopped I got acne on my forehead and started the antibiotics again. In dec I cut down to 150g tetralysal once a day, at first my skin was good but after a while my skin got worse so I increased the dose again and when it got better I decreased and so on. Now my skin is really terrible, I have acne on my cheeks and it's only seems to getting worse. Even when I had acne when I was a teenager it wasn't this bad. I have also started taking birth control pills, Desogen(on my second month) but the acen started before that and Desogen shall be good for acne. Several others have stated they got worse acne after stopping antiobiocs, why is that so ? I really want to quit taking antiobiotics when my skin cleard but how ? And why should I tapper off the antibiocs slowly other wise the acne flars up ? Could this be explanations why stopping antiobics the acne gets worse? # Antibiotics mess up the digestive system and if the gut isn't working properly the immune system isn't functiong well = acne ? # Antibiotics kills all bacteria, so the flora naturally present at the skin is not there = acne ? Please post any thougts on this subject, cause antibiotics in the long run is bad and I belive everyone on it wants to stop. And the people who has stopped and have sucsess tell the group how u did !! //Kajsa. _____________________________________________________ Följ VM på nära håll på Yahoo!s officielle VM-sajt www.yahoo.se/vm2002 Håll dig ajour med nyheter och resultat, med vinnare och förlorare...
