To be honest I'm not sure, but that does sound like the wrong approach to me. I don't see how antibiotics are going to help, however I could be wrong as I have never had guttate psoriasis.
Hopefully another member will have more info, but if it helps the info I do know is.
Guttate Psoriasis normally occurs following a streptococcal throat infection and is more common among children and teenagers. It causes small (less than 1cm or 1/3 inch) drop-shaped sores on your chest, arms, legs and scalp. Numerous small red scaly patches quickly develop over a wide area of skin, although the palms and the soles are usually not affected. There is a good chance that guttate psoriasis will disappear completely, but some people go on to develop plaque psoriasis.
If anyone else can help on this please jump in.
