Have you had any lasting effects?

I've been prescribed a "fairly serious" antibiotic for a skin condition that has been plaguing me for several years (I've gotten like 5 different diagnosis and tons of different Rx). I'm otherwise incredibly healthy, so this antibiotic scares the shit out of me and I have yet to start taking it.

No lasting effects but it was only a year ago so who knows - my completely amateur take is you've got to balance the payoff with the risk - in your case the payoff of getting rid of a skin condition that's been plaguing me for years seems like a fair trade for the risk of the antibiotics if I were in your shoes... it's not like you didn't try to let your body resolve it on its own (since you've had it for years)

Have you tried cleaning your washing machine regularly ? People often think of washing their pillow cases and sheets once a week, but if the washing machine isn't well maintained, the bacteria don't get properly killed and you spend all nights and day with them, and no amount of skin-cleaning and hydrating products will be able to work.
