Acne
"I&#039;ve been on this medication for over 2 years, off and on. My derma said it could cause long term effects such a blue gums and teeth but I hadn&#039;t noticed that side effect until recently on my gums. The minocycline helped with my hormonal acne, but not my usual breakouts. I&#039;ve struggled with acne for 10+ years so it&#039;s obviously frustrating but my derma has had me try everything to avoid the possibility of me going onto isotretenoin. Since I&#039;ve noticed my gums turning blue, I decided to stop taking the minocycline. Ever since I stopped my skin has been looking clearer. I don&#039;t think this medication or antibiotic is meant for long term use at all."
