Quote from Myqiue:

I was on augmentin for another infection and it cleared my skin right up. I am in the process now of trying to find a Dr. who will prescribe it for acne. How many mg do you take per day and how many times?
Thanks,
Myqiue

Myqiue, how long did it take for you to notice results?

I have just returned from the derm. She gave me an Rx for Augmentin (Amox.). I have been on many antibotics over the last 20 years for acne - but this is a new one for me. Anyone else taking this? Your comments please.

Hi,many years back i was suffering with a batch of boils on my neck and my doctor prescribed this,it cleared my skin totally really quickly,no other antibiotic has ever done this for me,unfortunatley i became intolerant of penecillan and can no longer take it,TYPICAL LOL

I was prescribed Augmentin a few times last year for sinus infections but I don't think I really noticed a difference in my skin.

I've been on Augmentin 2 weeks for a sinus infection. Haven't noticed any diffference in my skin, although I am getting a rash on the back of my neck whhich I normally only get from wearing metal necklaces. Probably unrelated.

I take it back ... I think my skin might be a little more clear. Hard to say if it is the Augmentin, though, since I also started using a masque more often.

Oh, for those wondering why Augmentin might work when other antibiotics don't, my allergist says that's because it's simply stonger. He said it's "the nest step up" from amoxycilin.
