Has anyone here ever been on the antibiotic Doxycycline to treat acne?
My derm just put me on it 4 weeks ago and was wondering how long it takes to get results.
I just got off accuatne for the 3rd time, for the 3rd time it cleared my skin amazingly. For the 3rd time, when I got off it my acne came back. its not severe but its moderate and its really depressing the heck out of me. any comments or feedback would help alot. thanks everyone
i been on Doxycycline for a while now and it has worked for me because i went off of it a few times and my acne came back. it works better then anything eles i had. i THINK it should start working right away because it did for me but im not a doctor. everyone is different.
goo luck
Hi...
For yrs I took tetracyline and used benzoyl peroxide,erythromycin gel.
My dermo suggested accutane.I was all for it!But then discovered I couldn't
take it because I was not on the pill.Didn't have my tubes tied...etc....
I have suffered terrible cysts on and off for 20yrs!As well as general acne!
Doxycyline has worked for me as well.It does take a few weeks to see a difference.
I think any meds we take for acne that work well eventually fail us.
Mainly because we build up a resistance to it. I have used Retin A and Benzaclin.
I did alot of research on products.
I discovered that salicylic acid works!!St Ives Apricot scrub with salicylic acid is wonderful for washing the face.
Clean&Clear Advantage....Johnson&Johnson acne spot treatment with salicylic acid works wonders!!!
Both products can be bought at the local drug store.They are not expensive.
Try these along with the doxycycline...give it a few weeks...
I think you will be happy!!! Jane

I actually posted a lot about it a while ago. I love it and I recommend it. Hard to believe, but it started working for me in about 2 weeks. It helps all month, but during the "period", I still break out pretty bad. Can't imagine how bad it would be if I went off of it, but stay with it and it should help. Make sure you take the right amount every day too, try not to miss a dose. I have done that before, because you have to eat when you take it and sometimes I forget....Good luck and stick with it.
