Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
Thanks for your query . The acne is very common problem in teens . There can be many reasons for acne Stress and hormonal changes are very common . Other are side effect due to certain medicines .
In your case the condition is exaggerated by he side effect of
azithromycin.
I would suggest you to :-
- Immediately stop taking this medicine .
- Take over the counter anti allergic drug like zyrtec.
- Give cold compresses to acne .
- Use facewash containing
salicylic acid , which is very effective .
- Apply apple cedar vinegar for 15 minutes and then wash away once daily .
Consult dermatologist to discuss the side effect of antibiotic .
Doctor may prescribe other antibiotics (
clindamycin or meteronodazole ) along with some steroid
ointments .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
