can dental or sinus problems cause acne?

i had a root canal done over 2 years ago, and every day i experience discomfort, if i dont take sinuc medication, it swells and gets extremely immflamed, im going on vacation and i want 2 look my best, they said there is no sign of infection dentist endodontists or sinus doctors, i get sinus pressure on the left area of my face especially above the molar with the root canal, and i keep getting pimples on the left side of my face, more than the right side, i even have swullon cheek that i can notice, which appears unidentified by others, but i feel they say this 2 make me feel better? any suggestions?

Acne is caused by oil, bacteria and hormones. If you're getting pimples ask your doctor for a course of oral antibiotics but do mention any other medications you are taking in case they are contra-indicated. Also invest in a good facial wash for acne prone skin. I'm sure people are not just saying things to make you feel better, you're in discomfort every day so no wonder you feel down about yourself.

Hi jonezzey,

I have a similar problem. A couple years ago, I had a pretty bad tooth infection. I was told I needed a root canal but couldn't afford it. I was on antibiotics to try and kill the infection. After a couple months of dealing with it, the tooth pain went away. But then I broke out really bad with acne just right above the tooth infection. I swear that the two are linked but my dermatologist and general doctor don't think so. Now I have really bad cystic acne and I've tried everything to get rid of it. I was pretty convinced it didn't have to do with my tooth but now I am definitely reconsidering that possibility.

Same as me.  My tooth chipped and lost its molar about a month or more then i started experiencing terrible acne problems. The worst acne is on the same side as my chipped, molar missing tooth.  I never went to see a dentist.  I'm finally going to see a dentist in a few weeks.  It's been over a year now since this has all started. I'm 32, I'd already gone through acne problems as a teenager, I do not need to go through it again.

I had a tooth infection and was taking the antibiotic for two days when my skin started to break out. I thought it was an allergic reaction to the antibiotic, but now am thinking it might have not been the case.
