i dont know if anyone has posted abotu this medication or not because i havent read everything in this thread yet except for this last page, but when i had acne issues, my doctor prescribed me
doxycycline...it worked wonders alhumdulialh alhumdulilah. the key to it is, FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS. its a pain in the neck but its worth it. theres precautions u have to follow like "no lying down for 30 minutes after taking the med" or "exposure to sunlight may burn ur skin after taking med" ( which happaned with my freind who had to stop the medication cause of that) but for the latter i just went aroudn the rule by taking the pill at night instead of during the daylight hours, so id take it an hour before going to bed with a full glass of water and that way, id be avoiding the sunlight rule totally.
its a 2 month course and at first when u take it, ur face goes wildly crazy by breaking out, but the key is to be patient and not panic when ur face does this...its basically a pill used to treat bacterial infections and im thinking it just surfaces all the gunk inside of u? lol. dont know. anyhow, after the first month though, u start to see ur face clear up rapidly and by the end of the course, inshallah ud get an acne-free face...the only thing is to have patience throughout the whoel course because it is very annoying to take and its VERY sensitive on teh stomach and the breakout factor the first few weeks is just horrible. but all in all, i recommend this to anyone and everyone that ever asks me what to do about acne...
