I've got hundreds of little bumps on my forehead and overall more blackheads or pre-acne on my back, etc.

anyone else get this after starting abx?

is it from a change in hormones as a side effect of the abx?

Thanks,

Eyal

Some say its a change in hormones.

Some say its toxins coming out through the skin.

I say thanks , I need a dermatologist myself

I just started having 2 pop out just this week - starting week 4 of abx tomorrow. since I've been nice and smooth and clear for some time now (a few years back had 4-5 pop up that just wouldn't go away until I was on minocin for a while) it's not making me happy.

I know when I started abx's I got pimples then they cleared up. Now that Iam off abx I started getting them again. When I asked the LLMD he said abx's killing everything even on your skin. Now that Iam off immune system is taking over.
