If you have used Albenza (albendazole) and experienced an increase or decrease in acne, please tell us about it here. Be sure to include as much information as possible, including when you started taking Albenza, the dosage, other side effects you experienced, and anything else that might be relevant. Acne is sometimes a side effect of prescription drug usage, but other times it has to do with hard-to-track-down lifestyle changes, bacteria in your gut, or nutrient deficiency. In our experience, the best way to treat acne is by eliminating sugar, flour, dairy, caffeine, and vegetable oils from your diet. Supplementing zinc, vitamin b complex, boron, melatonin, and SOD is likely to help as well.

You do not need to live with acne — it is a disease caused by a combination of a western lifestyle and western diet.

I’ve been on albendazole for 10 days at 400mg twice a day for a parasite I picked up in the Caribbean. I normally have no complexion issues but throughout the course of this medicine I have been having progressively worse acne. Both of my cheeks and now my chin are covered in acne.
I’ve been taking albendazole 400mg twice daily because of a parasite also for the past 10 monthd. I have acne on chin chest and lower back. I talked to a dermatologist regarding this issue. Unfortunately since there isn’t much information regarding the relationship between albendazole and acne i couldn’t have a proper diagnosis or medication. It’s really bad and its constant and persistent.
I’ve had to be pn it twice now. Both times, the acne on my arms have gotten sooo bad!
