8. The Impact of Antibiotics on Skin Clarity

While antibiotics are sometimes essential for treating infections, they can also disrupt the delicate balance of gut bacteria. Many people report experiencing new breakouts or skin irritation after a course of antibiotics, as these medications can wipe out both harmful and beneficial microbes. Short-term use may cause temporary flare-ups, but long-term or repeated antibiotic use can lead to persistent skin issues. Restoring the gut microbiome with probiotics and a balanced diet is often recommended after antibiotic treatment.
