Doxycycline anyone?

[mikefear]

Have any of you guys used Doxycycline to clear up some test-acne? Specifically on my back and shoulders.. its not bad, but it's there.. my HRT doc gave me doxycycline, but I like to run all my info through you guys first..

ive taken it, took alot longer to see results than accutane.

My doc gave me Doxycycline for rosacea. I get a little red around my nose during and after cycles. I do think it might help some with acne. It's not as strong as some other types of acne meds but it does clears hair follicle type irritations.

I used it and it worked well only side I had with it was I cant be in the sun for long periods of time. It will make you burn fast.

i think tanning really just "hides" the acne, doesnt really clear it up (so i can still feel the nastieness on my back, and a few days later, you can see it again)....maybe it temporarily drys it out, but thats about it...for me at least.

i guess it really depends on how severe it is, i wouldnt even call mine "acne" its just one or two pimples...not a whole acne collony...the tanning dries mine up and they go away
