Hi. Acne and allergies are two separate skin conditions. An allergic rash occurs when you come into contact with a substance you are intolerant to. Acne is caused by high levels of, or a particular sensitivity to the effects of androgens. Androgens are male hormones which are found in both male and female bodies. Androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands which produce oil. If too much oil is produced the glands become blocked with oil and bacteria.
Acne usually responds well to Oxytetracycline 250mg twice daily. No medicine is free from side effects but the majority of people can take this medicine without problems. Acne responds slowly to oral antibiotics like Oxytetracycline. Therefore, your doctor may also prescribe a topical synthetic retinoid like Differin gel (adapalene 0.1%). These treatments control acne, but they cannot get rid of it forever. You may need repeat courses of your medication for as long as your tendency to acne persists.
Eloise.
