Clear all
I have been taking doxycycline 40mg for 3 days now and I have noticed my skin has gone worse. Am getting upset and depress about this when it's supposed to make my acne better. And my face feels itchy and red. Is this normal and how long till I see improvements
Thank you and advice will help
That is a pretty low dose. When I was taking it for mild to moderate acne I had 200mg a day for the first week or two, I don't remember exactly, and after that 100mg a day for like 4 months. It cleared my skin completely (but of course acne came back afterwards, just like with any antibiotic). But it has only been 3 days, so you haven't even taken enough to see any improvements.
I just noticed this was posted like 2 weeks ago. How is your skin doing now?
