Can medication give you adult acne?

[redfield11 0]

That was the only title i could think of because this is kind of a weird question.

Question: Is there any chance that taking medications (creams/antibiotic pills) during teenage years and early twenties keeps your body from essentially, adjusting, to acne? (2 examples, bottom one is quick if you don't want to read much)

Example: For instance, for the average person who gets acne, they get it during mid teens (15/16) and then that continues on until around 20 and begins to fade away. Of course there are plenty of people that have a different timetable (done with acne earlier or later, even affected by it all their life). But what if that typical person takes different pills (minocyline, doxy, etc.) and a cream (epiduo, duac, etc) throughout those year? Could that make it harder for the body to work out it's acne problem by itself?

Quicker Example: Kind of like how hand sanitzers make it harder for kids to build immunities to virus's.

Thanks,

Cam

I believe the antibiotics can cause bad bacteria to get out of control and cause adult acne. Look up candida, I believe that is what is causing my acne at 23 years of age.

I believe its a possibility, yes...antibiotics can do other negative things, yeast infections(candida) lowering resistance, digestive problems...have you taken probiotics since?

Also if youre female birth control can either help OR make your skin worse. Depends on the pill, and depends on teh person.

Sorry, no one answer on this! But, anything can aggreivate acne in certain people. The trick is finding out waht.
