Will nystatin help with my acne? I don't get it very bad. Just a couple pimples, but my chest and back are worse than my face. They get tiny white heads. Will this help or make it worse? I've been on some pills where they make it worse. Any insight you can give is awesome. Thanks.

Hello, Kas! How are you?

No, Nystatin only treats fungal infections, so it will not help with acne.

Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to find something that will help you.

Another tip is to always wash those areas of your body last, when showering, that way any lingering oils from your shampoo or other products you use don't stay on the skin to worsen the breakouts.
