sweetheart519 3 Posted June 21, 2007 That isn't very long. Seems like the medication hasn't had long enough to do it's job for your acne. Also, if you don't use some kind of topical maintenance treatment after you stop the antibiotics, you can probably expect your acne to return in full force.

I already told you that I use BP and Tretinoin Not everyone remembers everything about other people's regimens. Anyway, the antibiotic most likely helped calm down the initial breakout from the retinoid cream/gel/liquid you're using. The BP is helping kill the bugs as well. Continue as you are and see how it works. You might not experience any more breakouts if you got the acne under control with the antibiotic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaxyManny 0 Posted June 22, 2007 your fuckin insane...if I do that then my body will get used to it and then the antibiotic wont work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart519 3 Posted June 23, 2007 i'd get a refill on the mino and try to continuously take it. This is just an ignorant statement honestly. Antibiotics are not a good long-term solution, period. Unless you enjoy wrecking the balance of bacteria in your body, and creating bacterial resistance and super infections that can no longer be treated by antibiotics.
