Acne control

[sterolizer]

Hey, has anyone ever heard of minocine? I had it recommend to me by a friend, anyone used it before? Also what about doxycolin, I've used that too before along with benzol peroxide, which worked very well. I have a few pimples on my back, and some smaller ones along my shoulders, nothing serious, but would be nice to clean up cosmetically. Any suggestions?

The drug your referring to is called Minocycline and the other is doxycycline or doxycycline hycelate as well as Tetracycline. All of them are antibiotics that are routinely prescribed by Dermatologists to help combat acne. They don't clear it up by fixing the root problem (over active sebaceous glands) but rather fight the *symptoms* inflammation and white blood cell activity that causes the actual break outs, pimples, swelling, redness etc etc. They all work via the same path, however the Doxy and Tetra are normally taken on an empty stomach to illicit their full efficacy and the Minocycline can actually be taken with food. In that regard the Minocycline is usually given to younger patients and or athletes who would have a more difficult time with not eating or or patients who get ill when taking drugs on an empty stomach.

If you have a genetic predisposition to acne weather using AAS, not using AAS or both. The only and read "strongest" medication at a Dermatologists disposal to treat persistent, cystic type acne is Accutane. It's a controversial med to say the least and usually the last line of defense after all other treatment protocols have failed. Scientists still aren't 100% sure how exactly this medication works completely, however one thing it seems to do for certain is shrink and or shut down sebaceous glands (oil glands) and your acne 99% of the time will cease to exist and not come back.
