anyone tried anti biotics + probotics to clear their skin?

Just wondering if this is worth it my gut biome is fucked anyways

 

[Haadi]

Haven't tried it myself but heard from friends experiences that it helps

not worth it imo, been on antibiotics for 3 weeks, shit just came back after I stopped taking them. Tretinoin saved my ass, to be certain, Epiduo.

I took an anti biotic then stopped cause it gave me stomach issues and my acne has been fucked ever since then. Went from perfect skin at 19 to garbage skin at 20-21 in such a dramatic way.

My theory is that the anti biotics screwed my gut by killing all the bacteria then when I went off it bad bacteria took over

I am on tret it 100% has helped but its also not enough my skin is never getting back to normal with this alone

I'd rather give accutane a try then if ur acne is severe. Also microneedling helped me out immensely, especially with the scarring.

ur under 25 and on tret it will come back for sure, your body already makes enough collagen + ur aiding it with tret, trry adding marine collagen for a year, its expensive but worth it

Taking antibiotics and probiotics. You can do the math.

its probably from acne itself bro, if acne stays too long it will wreck skin, I will do accutane and then probably laser if I have scarring

well the idea is as your body kills off bacteria you constantly are replacing it with good bacteria and of course once you are off it you keep taking the probiotics the idea is that it will radically change your biome.

good idea since using probiotics generally might not be that effective as it’s hard for the cultures to colonize with the all the other microorganisms there

If you use Antibiotics that would decrease diversity and potentially create antibiotic resistance

Yeah once bad bacteria takes over then it sorta makes it very competitive for the probiotics.

I have also read extended fasting can similarly effect this but not clue if its as effective
