For the most part, Guys are out of luck on this solution.

The most common oral treatment for acne is a birth control pill. The progesterone in the pill won't help a guy out, and would cause side effects true men might not want. Another option though might be an oral antibiotic like Zithromax.

Zithromax and Pregnancy

Only your doctor can tell you whether or not it is safe to take Zithromax during pregnancy, but unless you suffer from some of the side effects listed above, it appears that the risk is relatively low from the medical information available online. As far as taking zithromax while breastfeeding is an entirely different story. The antibiotic is secreted in breast milk, and so you would be dosing the infant as well.

My family will usually seek out a herbal or natural solution to most common health issues. Some things we will seek out a physician first, but we like to use the nutritional support that God has provided through plants, vitamins, and minerals. There are so many side effects possible with the antibiotics, that I like to try a less dangerous, less invasive, and less expensive means of returning to a healthy state. ______________________________________________________________________________
