Hi, my doctor prescribed me antibiotics to help bring down my acne inflammation, but since then when ever i go to urinate it stings/hot is that normal?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Stop the medication: Since acne is not a life-threatening issue, the easiest way is to stop the antibiotic for 1-2 weeks to see if the problem subsides. If the problem persists, it is from something else.
