Antibiotics...?!


Question: Antibiotics!.!.!.!?
I have an ingrowing hair in my underarm due to waxing/shaving and so the doctor prescribed me antibiotics as it started to get really painful and a big lump has formed under the skin!.

Same thing happened a long while ago and was kind of pussey (gross, I know!) so I'm using those antibiotics from the last time round!.

However, my cousin told me it could interfere with my contraception pill!? Like, my pill won't work if I'm taking antibiotics over it!.

Is this true!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
