Acne
"I&#039;m 20 years old now and I started this medicine a little over a year ago. This was my first oral medication I tried for treating my acne. I suffered from it for about 10 years I&#039;d say. I would get really large cysts on my chin, and recently also on my forehead, and some on my cheeks. During my time of taking it I DID see results. I can say my acne did get a lot better than before because my huge cysts would come in only once in awhile. However during this past summer I decided to reduce the dose (before 100mg twice a day) to completely stopping taking the medication to see how my skin would fair... and it got WORSE. Was back on it again, and now got prescribed minocycline. Hope this works out! Doxy was great, but lost its effectiveness."
