I am a 25 y.o. male. About 5 months ago, my PCP prescribed me a month's worth of Ofloxacin oral to help fight what was perceived to be chronic prostatitis. Part of me thinks that taking so much of that antibiotic, perhaps unnecessarily, has led to a persistent rash on my forehead. The rash looks a bit like acne - small, red bumps, with slight blackheads - but looks scaly, dry, and really just like a number of small, spread out red bumps. I have seen a dermatology PA a few times, who has provided me with various samples of topical treatments, but none really worked well or made the rash burn more intensely. The PA also prescribed Doxycycline to knock the rash away.
My question: is it possible that the rash is the result of taking the Ofloxacin, and more specifically, perhaps the result of a build up of bacteria (yeast)? If so, will taking the Doxycycline clear up the rash, or will it just increase the amount of yeast bacteria build up, and thus worsen a rash that could be the result of excess candida in the body? Clearly I've been reading too much into this topic, but I guess I just find it really strange that I never have had acne or rashes, and then suddenly have a persistent, slightly burning (not itching) rash on my forehead after taking Ofloxacin.
Any help or advice on this would be so appreciated.
