deus_ex 0 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hey guys. I'm not gonna go into a long recap of my acne history, but I do have some questions about oral antibiotics and going off them. Well, after lots of thinking and discussion with my dermatologist I finally decided to take a break from Tetralysal for the summer. She insisted that I quit cold turkey, something that I know a lot of people don't recommend because it increases the risk of a relapse. Well, I did quit cold turkey, (which was about three weeks ago), and I've already noticed some kind of relapse, though I can't really say it's that serious. A couple of pimples on my chin and eyebrow, which I can deal with. I'm just starting to wonder whether or not it will progressively get worse, or if this is just a temporary stage where my bacterial flora haven't "stabilized" yet. How long does it really take before you can be sure it's not getting any worse?Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
