Acne
"I started Doxycycline December last year and initially it broke my skin out horrendously as it has a &quot;purging&quot; effect. The spots will be red and quite painful, (I found using Ice soothed them down quicker). After about 3 weeks my skin started to clear, and after almost a year I had stopped taking them. Recently I began again after breaking out more than usual, after about a 4 month break, and my skin has had that same purge experience. It seems that these do help but once your skin clears I&#039;d avoid going back on them and find other ways to fight the light break outs. I use it in conjunction with Isotrexin gel."
