From Cafefair, on the subject of the link between acne medication and yeast infections:
How then, is this connected to acne medication? Most of the time, it probably isn't. Although acne is commonly treated with antibiotics; the dosage of these antibiotics usually isn't high enough to go far from your face, or the skin where you directly applied your ointments.
For those of us lucky enough to have more moderate to severe acne, though, the story is slightly different. If your doctor has you taking an oral pill antibiotic for your complexion; if you're using a very strong concentration of antibiotics; or if you're using a combination of several antibiotics, you may have a higher chance of developing a yeast infection.
Sounds like adding insult to injury, doesn't it. I got oral thrush last year after working 36-hour days for a number of weeks. It got to the point that my body didn't even have the energy to fight yeast overgrowth, so I was forced onto a course of antibiotics and a treatment called, if I recall, Fluconazole. Luckily for me it was just chronic fatigue and workaholism I was fighting rather than an acne outbreak. Unfortunately I react poorly to antibiotics for some reason, so all through my course I was fighting off nausea.
For those unfortunate people who find that acne medication causes problems - yeast related or otherwise - I'd advise that they try a herbal acne treatment or some other sort of milder therapy. Often times the less harsh non medical options can prove much more effective than a course of medication. This is doubly true for those who have the same reaction to antibiotics as myself.

As you may know, acne can vary from quite mild to extremely severe. It is the severe acne such as pustules and deeper cysts that result to scarring if the condition is not cared for properly. The Acne Scars may be evident for a lifetime, so as much as possible you should do something that will prevent an acne scar from forming.

Although acne is commonly treated with antibiotics; the dosage of these antibiotics usually isn't high enough to go far from your face, or the skin where you directly applied your ointments.
Antibiotics are not obligatory, you can get get rid of adult acne using these simple advices.
Many people feel that their acne is overly embarrassing and unmanageable. I have read story after story of heartache, especially from teens that endure heartless bullying from schoolmates. There are so many different remedies and medications. What most people fail to realise is that each individual has a different biological makeup and what works for one person may not work for everyone. In some cases certain acne treatment can adversely affect already irritated skin. This further causes unnecessary embarrassment and frustration to an already uncomfortable situation.
Propaganda fuels misconceptions about different so-called remedies and even causes. The idea that chocolate and oily food causes acne. When in truth, makeup, unhealthy skin and even perspiration can cause acne.
All of these factors affect the skin. But even your skin makeup can affect your skin and create back acne, scalp acne, large assesses or ingrown hair. There is an acne questionnaire done by a company called Skinmed that will help to diagnose acne problems through a series of questions, and then it n recommends the best acne treatment for each individual.
Teen acne is typically the most difficult to diagnose because of hormonal considerations, but there is a special area meant just for teen acne that has a completely different set of rules when running the formula that determines the best medications or acne treatments. In some cases simple changes in hygiene and daily washing is all that it takes.
The site also has a free acne treatment offer on acne facial cleanser that is made up of a three step process. The primary reason most teens, especially boys tend to have more problems with chronic acne is because of a lack of simply washing their face regularly. So this treatment is free is a way to create a healthy daily routine, while gently healing the skin to prevent acne scarr
and do you know some adult acne treatment without madication?
