I have acne problem since a year. Six months ago I consulted a dermatologist. He told me to take azifine plus 500 mg for a month, and after taking it, almost acnes were cured so I stopped taking medicines. But after few weeks (2-3) the whole face started getting acne again. So I started taking azifine and I am having acnes till date. So what should I do? Should I stop taking azifine as it is a antibiotic and taking it for too long may make germs (bacteria) more resistant and harder to kill.

Yes Ayush. Please stop taking Azifine. You are right that taking antiobitic for too long with cause resistance. You can go in for chemical peels along with local applications so that acne can be controlled.
