My son has just turned 13 and has developed, what I thought, were only zits on his forehead, however our family doctor says he is developing Acne and has prescribed Purbac. I am a little concerned as I do not like anti-biotics...does anyone have any info or side effects of this drug?

Hi Carol, my doctor also prescribed me purbac to repeat three times that will make six months. How is your skin after six months treatment? Acne did not return? I don't like the idea to be on antibiotics for long.

Hi. I am on purbac for my acne. Can it work? After all the things I have tried I am just hesitant to try anything else. I have cystic acne, very oily skin and really bad scaring.

Re: Dr Erlacher (# 20)
Sugar in chocolate causes acne so yes a chocolate can cause pimples. Same applies for sugar laden drinks and food. Dairy products can also affect your skin. I have found that these have affected my skin for the past 30 years but it may differ for yours. Fresh air, a little sun and lots of drinking water helps the skin.

the use of antibotic s should only be used in cases of abcessed boils, antibotics destroyed normal bacteria in the stomach an intestines, Acne is a trying prombem for teens, astringents as witch hazel to wipe skin off after washing will help, if your son has difficult blackheads tell him to place a hot towel just as hot as he can stand on his face for 5 minutes before trying to remove blackheads this opens the pores more, so sores are not developed, tell him cut down on chocolate an increase his diet esp. with tuna in spring water helps skin an hair, check your son s ears on the inside as pimples an blackheads form there too, a large hairpin can be used to extrude these
