OK so i have mild face acne but pretty bad back acne. I went to the dermatologist about 2 months ago and she prescribed tetracycline for me to clear my back acne. One thing led to another and i never started taking them. I did however start both the face AND body regimen 3 weeks ago. My face started clearing up, but theres NO improvement for my back acne, its still pretty bad.
So my question is, if I start taking the tetracycline will my back acne get better? Also my face is somewhat clear, will the tetracycline clear my face even more or worsen it? And lastly, will the tetracycline in any way interject with the regimen? thanks for any advice
I'm currently on both a tetracycline and the regimen - I've been doing so for two months now (I started the regimen a month and a half before the antibiotics, though) I don't think it'll interject in any way, and it should help clear up your face, especially if it's only mild (It has done an excellent job of clearing my face and I've got it mild) I have noticed, though, that the tetracycline hasn't helped any body acne, and I'm only doing the face regimen
If you do start taking them, you might notice an initial breakout - but don't let it deter you, and make sure to stick to it
