the medicine antibiotics got a lot of kind or just 1 kind?

as in are there different kinds of antibiotics or just one single kind.?

cuz i wan to get antibiotics for my skin... my skin have dark patches on the back of my neck.. very disgusting... then around 1 yr back i go see doctor, was prescribed with antibiotics and eventually cured...

maybe haven totally cured, so now the dark patches resurfaced... i was thinking if taking antibiotics again will work anot.. then i was thinking pharmacy got sell antibiotics? if yes then issit only got one kind or wat?

Hi ItchyArmpit,

There are many different kinds of antibiotics. For your case, I will strongly suggest that you seek treatment from a doctor at the polyclinic, rather than taking random antibiotics.

anti biotics is a prescription drug. you cant get it at pharmacy.

for skin problems, you should be seeing a dermatologist. or maybe a GP, where if the skin is not serious, they will dispense you with topical steriod cream. steriod cream also got anti biotic function, so its a prescription drug, you wont be able to get it from pharmacy either.
