Brief Answer:
you can take it safely

Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting the query.

You can take the medicine safely.
Gastric irritation is the common side effect with all antibiotics have any antacids along with it.

If you are getting back the folliculitis again, i suggest you to get the culture and sensitivity done. You can then be treated with exact sensitive antibiotic.

Do apply the T bact ointment locally on the infected area.

Take care.
