Acne after antibiotics

Pimples after antibiotics indicate problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

The zone in which the rashes appear is responsible for a particular organ or organ system.

In addition, acne can appear after a long course of antibiotic treatment.

Changes in the skin may not appear immediately. And after the end of the main treatment, a few weeks later. The fact is that some drugs can accumulate in the body and therefore their effect can last for a certain period. They should not be covered with cosmetic means or squeezed out by themselves - the probability of infection and its further spread through the body is high.

As a result of this impact on the body of antibacterial agents, the natural balance of microorganisms is disturbed and dysbiosis is developing. Normally, the human skin develops a colony of staphylococcus, which maintains the balance of microorganisms, without harming the body. After prolonged antibacterial treatment, this balance is disturbed and the pyogenic microflora begins to predominate on the skin.

Acne after antibiotics is not clear enough clinical manifestation, so additional medical advice is needed.

Antibiotics disrupt the balance of organisms, not only in the intestines, but also on the mucous membranes, on the skin.
