Can anyone tell me if it worked for them, I have a lot of chin acne and mild everywhere else.

Thanks everyone!

doxy was a miracle for me for about 6 months and then slowly i started to break out again. i just got off it after being on it for a year and will probably start accutane in a few months. those 6 months without breakouts though were some of the best times of my life. good luck!!

Doxy worked great for me. I was on 200mg a day for 4 months and I was clear those 4 months, but once I stopped, it came back. I have a doctors appointment tommorrow and Im gonna try to get back on it for 6 months this time. I hope I can get it and if I do, it works again! Good luck with your Doxy!

I had zero results from doxy. I was on it for 6 months, I am now on accutane..
Everyone is diffrent though. I would try the doxy before going the accutane route though.

thank you very much but that picture was back in september before i started breaking out. my doctor put me on a low dose doxy of 50mg a day and then lately i have been cutting out sugar, caffeine and trying to limit my wheat intake. i also have upped my benzaclin to using it twice a day again and it seems to be helping. now if i can stay clear that would be nice!
