Hello! I experienced something similar except with Tetralycel (antibiotic ) and Dual gel. Seemed like it got worse after I started taking it then about 6 months I was clear and I stopped. Then it all came back ten times worse. I went back on the same again and got worse again. Got a lot better. Then it decided to start getting worse again. So after much deliberation,I decided to go on Accutane. My only regret is that I didn't take the Roaccutane sooner.

If you like, you could ask your doctor to refer you to a dermatologist if it keeps coming back. My doctor did all he could but he should really have sent me to a dermatologist a year earlier.

I hope this helps. I know how frustrating it is.

Doxycyclineis a fine product I think. If it worked for you first, then had average results for the second round, it might just be as effective as the first time (who knows how your body will react).But I think it's a good move.
