Acne
"A year ago my doctor prescribed Doxine (doxycycline) and I found that after about 2 weeks of taking a tablet a day and increasing my usual water consumption, my skin started getting better and much more clear. A relief after struggling with mid-teen acne. Eventually my skin was fine (3 months after starting) and I stopped, thinking that it was now my body and not the medicine that was healing my skin. But soon afterwards my acne started appearing once more, and so I began taking doxycycline again about 2 months ago. It&#039;s been great and I&#039;ve really got my confidence back as my skin naturally is quite oily and acne prone. Note that while taking the medicine it is still common to get a tiny pimple or two sometimes as the drying process of the skin isn&#039;t so intense on this medication. My only side effects were my increased desire for water and a slight aversion to strong sunlight."
