First of all, I am a 21 year old male who has never dealt with acne. At the end of september I was infected with e coli. In the month of October, I had a bad breakout of acne only on my forehead and a little bit on the sides of my face. I am wondering if it might be related in any way. Thank you
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. E. coli never causes acne. P. scene is the causative agent involve in the pimple. It is a type of anaerobic infection which even do not respond to treatment of E.commit is the age of hormonal imbalance, so scene in this age is common. I advise you to wash the face four to five times a day. You can take Tab. Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for a week as and when required under your doctors' guidance. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
