I just finished a Z-pack antibiotic course last week for a mild bronchitis infection and started noticing a bunch of whiteheads and a mild rash pop up on my forehead, jawline, and neck earlier this week, but it seems to have gotten worse now towards the end of the week. I

Has anyone else experienced this type of reaction from antibiotics use? I haven't made any recent changes to my diet or skincare regimen. Any feedback/insight would be appreciated - thanks!

Check with yor doctor- it could be "drug" allergy rash to azithromycin (Z-pack). Best!

Hey try garlic tablets, garlic is good for fighting fungal infections. I'd say 2 per day.
