When I use a couple drugs to go after Babesia, I notice a huge increase of whiteheads that come out of my face around my nose, and also from my chest and back.

Mepron did this, and I think the herb Cumanda or Enula did this as well.

Anyone experience this or know more about whats happening?

Thanks BM, Although that's not exactly what I was talking about, looks like I have a small case of this happening too :\

gridmonster, which one happened badly and what did you do about it?

Wolfed Out, after oral and IV ABX, I had rashes, whiteheads, and pustles, all over my back, forearms, and torso. To a lessor degree on my neck and ears. The three different dermatologists I visited for the problem all simply shrugged their shoulders and said: "Put topical steroid ointments" on it. (Obviously NOT the way to go.) It's been over a year, and I still have the problem, but it does seem to be slowly decreasing in intensity.

I am experiencing the same thing now...the only thing is I am NOT on antibiotics at the moment. I started having horrible breakouts on my face as well as my chest and upper back. It seemed to come after I started taking Diflucan regularly for candida. I had also started the Byron White AL complex.. I assume that the acne is possibly a result of my body trying to detox from the die off of the yeast, but can't be sure.
My skin was fine (meaning an occasional pimple here and there, esp. before my period) before I "got sick" last year and it was also fine while I was on the antibiotics. It seemed to break out like crazy after starting the above items. I haven't had acne like this since I was a young teen! I plan to ask my doctor about it at my next appt. I know this symptom is minor in comparison to other problems, but it's a major annoyance for me right now.

I am covered with this nastiness. It is so upsetting to be sick and also lose my "looks". I have gained 40 lbs, have horrible skin and a big red nose and forehead (like a sunburn). I'm lucky my husband loves me so much.

I broke out in acne (red 'hurty'bumps and whiteheads) with Cumanda and also with parasite cleansing.

I got it on my face - forehead, nose and chin as well as on my scalp. The ones on my scalp hurt a lot.

There was antother treatment that caused this but I can't remember which one (Lyme brain fart)
