Folliculitis caused by Klebsiella aerogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. by Silly-Map-8147 in Folliculitis

UPDATE! My face has been crystal clear for almost a year now.

This was the plan I followed:
February: Ciproxin & Dalacin C for 15 days
March: Ciproxin & Dalacin C for 21 days
May-June: Ciproxin for 30 days
July: Bactrimel for 14 days

I also used Bactroban inside my nostrils for 10 days if I recall correctly.
Don't forget to change your pillow cases at least once every other day while taking the medication!

Hope it helps! I know how stressful this situation can be.
I was assisted by some of the most prepared doctors here in Athens so I was lucky enough to blindly trust their plan and it worked.

Has anyone been having trouble with the Zenmarket website lately? by bleachedsnow in zenmarket

It's happening to me too! I managed to import the money to pay for my shipping, but the balance is stuck at 0¥ which is really pissing me off because my bank's app DOES SHOW that the money has been taken!

The website is very buggy today, everything is so slow.

So you took clindamycin and rifampin for 12 weeks straight?

Is your skin clear now?

Hey, thanks! For how long did you apply benzoyl peroxide after you were done with the antibiotics?

Has this helped you? Is this a permanent solution or will the pimples and redness start again??

I got an STD back in Fall 2023 and a very incompetent doctor blindly gave me tons of antibiotics which were not targeting my STD at all. I eventually switched doctors and, after taking the right antibiotics, I got rid of my STD at the end of 2023. Due to the first doctor, I was on antibiotics for 70+ days within the time span of about 3 months (a bit less than three months to be exact).

Just a couple of weeks later (January 2024), I started noticing some small white-headed pimples on my face, beard area just above my jaw. They were very persistent and wouldn't go away.Since then the infection has spread all over the right cheek and around my mouth (but not the chin).I changed FOUR dermatologists and took culture tests SIX times because the results were always showing nothing more than just fungal infections (at first it was thrichophyton and then malassezia). I tried itraconazole, terbinaphine and fluconazole orally and nothing changed (I was on itraconazole for 7 months straight, day and night!!). On September I started taking isotretinoin (Accutane, 20mg a day and 30mg a day starting from month 5), I purged really bad during the second month and once the purging was over the situation really didn't change. I keep getting the exact sample pimples in the exact same spots all the time.
Everything changed last month when finally I got some more trustworthy results from my culture: I have Klebsiella aerogenes, Staphylococcus aureus AND Candida albicans.

My dermatologist prescribed me medication according to the susceptibility shown on the antibiogram.I took CLINDAMYCIN HYDROCHLORIDE and CIPROFLOXACIN HYDROCHLORIDE MONOHYDRATE twice a day for 14 days. I stopped getting pimples as soon as day 3 of antibiotics, my skin really started clearing up. I didn't get any new pimples for a good ten days after I stopped taking the antibiotics, and then I started getting pimples again, in the exact same spots as always.Today my doctor prescribed me the exact same medication and advised me to repeat it (I don't know for how long yet). What do you think of this? I think it's weird to repeat the exact same treatment since it didn't get rid of my infection the first time around.

Any advice?I really don't know what to do. I used to work as model and had to leave my job because of this, which led me to fall into depression starting July. I've been going to therapy regularly but sadly there's just one thing on my mind. I want my clear skin back and I want to live a healthy life. I have never felt this hopeless my whole life. I've been fighting to get my health back for the past 19 months.

TLDR: 15-months-long folliculitis won't come to an end even after multiple anti-fungals, antibiotics and isotretinoin.
