Your breaking out with folliculitis because your immune system has more than likely been screwed up by your antibiotics. If you stop your antibiotics, your skin will probably get worse for a bit but if you prepare for it, like start taking omega3 regularly, getting lots of sunshine, cut down or eliminate sugar/dairy/carbs, and start taking probiotics to repair all the damage then you might be ok. Have you been out in the sun a lot less since you graduated highschool?

Agree with the above poster. Antibiotics do no good for acne and are prescribed way too much and for prolonged periods. I was prescribed antibiotics for 7 months straight for some tiny acnelike spots and this made me break out badly, as in ten times worse. Now the doctors say it could be pityrosporum instead due to the antibiotics
