I have tried numerous anti biotics both orally and via a cream! I see no improvement or control what so ever. Any help would be massively appreciated!

I suggest posting photos for further evaluation and treatment advice. If you are concerned about the results from laser hair removal I suggest consulting with your dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

It is safe to do laser hair removal while being on an antibiotic such as Augmentin.  While there is some concern with certain antibiotics such as the tetracycline class, this has more to do with UV exposure rather than the wavelength of light you get exposed to doing laser hair removal...

Laser hair removal will be your best option. Make sure you chose a reputable place for your treatments. I recommend a board certified dermatogist.
