One more question. Hi Rob, Since ampicillin is an antibiotic, it may temporarily help your acne like many other antibiotics. I'm allergic to tetracycline, so when I have needed antibiotics in the past for infected acne I have been prescribed bactrim or erythromycin. Folliculitis is similar to acne, but involves the scalp I believe. Walt has taught me that antibiotics need not be used for acne, and if they ARE used, then only for infected acne and then only for a few days until the infection is controlled.
Hot compresses are a good idea for swollen or infected acne.
The glossary on this site has the protocol for how to use them. One more question. One more question. Thanx for the info. I guess almost 2 months ago I ended up at Walt's acne archive when I was seeking infomation.
