Will Amoxicillin cause photosensitivity?

SiloveSep 10, 2018
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!

Yes, you can have laser hair removal. Diode, alexandrite and yag lasers work best. It will take a series of treatments to get improvement. Please see an expert for an evaluation and about the skincare products. Best, Dr. Emer.
