At age 24, I noticed small itchy papules that look like small pimples around my oral nasal area. I was prescribed several antibiotics to treat what several dermatologist diagnosed as acne-like skin inflammation. When I would discontinue the antibiotics, my skin would flare up. And years later, I went to seek another opinion on my case. Dr. Ulmer in Long Beach, CA looked at my skin under a magnifying glass and immediately diagnosed me with gram negative folliculitis in addition to an inherited case of psoriasis, and he explained that the over use of antibiotics was the primary cause of gram negative folliculitis. I was prescribed accutane and along with several other medications including, a medicated lotion (hydrocortisone), retin A, and benzoyl peroxide. Now, half a year later, my skin has improved tremendously. I'm still taking accutane until advised to discontinue. I'm so happy with my results. For those who are taking antibiotics for an inflammatory skin rash, please discuss with your dermatologist about gram negative skin disorders. Hopefully you will not have to spend years flooding your body with unnecessary systemic drugs.

Hi, some people on the YouTube videos saying, don’t use any vitamin A derivatives including RetinA, retinol as accutane may cause some irritation. And not even Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide topically. Is that true? What’s your experience like? Thanks for sharing it with everyone dude!
