Antibiotics for Treating Acne - Why Not?

916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC IN CHICO, CA


Antibiotics for the treatment of acne are among the most common oral medications prescribed by dermatologists.

Unfortunately, antibiotics kill off the beneficial bacteria as well as the P. acnes bacteria that reside on our skin and in our pores. Beneficial bacteria provide us with nutrients, aid in digestion, and contribute to a healthy immune system. Taking antibiotics not only kills off the bad guys - it kills the good guys too.


Bacteria have been around for a very long time. Cyanobateria-like organisms date back 3.5 billion years! So, these little suckers know how to adapt. There ability to evolve is why so many antibiotics have become ineffective. Over time, bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics, and when that happens, the antibiotic no longer works.

There are much more effective ways of treating acne without compromising your health. There are lifestyle choices and nutritional choices that influence oil production and the build up of dead skin cells - two main contributing factors in acne. There are also topical treatments that have proven to be highly effective - clearing acne in 3 to 4 months.
