Will Amoxicillin cause photosensitivity?

September 10, 2018
Asked By:Silove in Sandy, UT

I take it for acne 3 times a day. I hate the idea of having to choose between getting the laser hair removal done and having the acne return. Amoxicillin is the only antibiotic so far that has worked, and I also tried many birth controls and topical creams unsuccessfully before now. I do think I can usually go about a week of not taking the pills before I notice the acne return. Just want some advice before moving forward. Thanks!
