ZacK:Yeap I have Doxycycline on stand by in case the acne blows out of control ... I start on a course of antibiotics to help with the healing... but this is not preferred as I do not want to be overly reliant on antibiotics :stupid:kiasimom:I will suggest bringing her to a dermatologist if the condition is severe.
We need anitibiotics sometimes. Me too
Hey Guys,
I feel your pain, glad those days are behind me. Just a note on the doxy. So antibiotics fight bacterial infections. Different bacteria are and have developed resistance to antibiotics. AKA the superbug, MRSA etc. I stand corrected but I believe there is even an antibiotic-resistant Ghonorea in today's world.
Antibiotics, in my opinion, were formerly the general practitioner's answer to way too many things - I was issued more antibiotics over the years than a small army needed.
The core of this issue is that antibiotics are not working on a host of bacterial infections and the likelihood that more bacteria will evolve and resist is a certainty rather than a maybe.
On the rare occasion I do have a breakout. I find Manuka honey acne treatments really effective. Manuka treatments are amazing for bacterial acne breakouts and Manuka restorative skin repair properties, wound and blemish repair are well documented and supported by research with clinically proven findings. http://bit.ly/2GyHIU7
Here is an article from Healthline on types of acne http://bit.ly/2GvY7c5
I myself use a natural manuka based acne product called active clear http://bit.ly/2DPIRmB
I would also recommend getting a good face wash or cleanser. If bacterial breakouts are the issue you need to be disciplined with your cleansing regime.
thx
