Bacterial Vaginosis And Acne Posted: 07-21-04 15:00pm
Is there are link between bacterial
vaginosis and acne? I was recently
diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis.
Since my diagnosis, my boyfriend develops
severe acne on the right side of his face
whenever we are intimate. His doctor
determined that he had adult acne, and
prescribe topical metronidazole. I was
prescribed metronidazole gel to treat my
case of bacterial vaginosis. We do not
engage in oral sex and we also use
condoms, so is it possible that my
bacterial vaginosis is causing his acne?

Likely but not necessarily the case -
1. Ask your drs
2. Go to a search engine like google or
yahoo & ask are "bacterial vaginosis
and acne" linked or can bacterial
vaginosis cause acne or is bacterial
vaginosis contagious & can it cause
acne.
