If a course of antibiotics clear up my acne does that mean I have bacterial acne?

Question

And should I be using anti-bacterial soap or something else? Does this happen with anyone else? I’m wondering if I don’t just have an overgrowth of bacteria on my skin and I can’t believe I just realized this with antibiotics. A lifetime of acne. Ugh. Any input appreciated.

Answer

Yes you could have that. I would use alternative ways to help control the bacteria on your skin such as neem, grapefruit, oregano, cinnamon, eucalyptus, clove, tea tree oil...always make sure to dilute the oils or get soaps that already have these oils (I like to dilute mine with coconut oil and try a little bit on your skin to make sure you are not allergic or sensitive to the oils). Anti bacterial soap is not ideal as it can breed super bacteria or commonly known as super bugs that could be a way worse off problem long term.
