Acne

My doc just prescribed doxycycline for my acne, anyone have experience with this medication? Does it work?

It didn't do much for me although I only had a few zits here and there. It won't do anything drastic most likely. How bad is your acne?

It is not too bad, mostly on my back and on my bald head. Not too terrible, not as bad as high school. I am in the sixth week of my cycle and over the last two weeks it definitely has gotten a lot worse.

Yeah dont go out in the sun, It makes your skin sensitive to light. It burned me like a mo fo!!!!!!!!!

It's a pretty common antibiotic for acne, and yes...it works! (of course everyone responds differently...try it for a few months and if you don't have any results after about the first 4 weeks, let your doc know)

I started showering twice a day and used OxyWash on my back with a back brush. I also used the pads that you normally wipe your face down on the back after showering. It helped. I still have some but nothing like it used to be. And ALWAYS shower right after the gym. I sort of neglected mine some and didnt treat it rigorously and it got really bad. Now most of mine is scarring with a few that pop up here and there. Gonna try tanning once or twice a week as well now.

doxycyclin is just a antibiotic, my doc gave it to me too worked somewhat well but as soon as i stopped the acne came right back
