Hi I'm new to this forum well I'm new to forums in general!
Background....I had a rash in my hairline for about 6 months I was treating it as acne as I suffer from it. Finally went to the doctor as it wasn't getting better or going away it was getting worse. She diagnosed me with a follicle infection. And put me on lymecycline. And this is where I'm having problems. My face, neck & chest have broke out in a rash/acne I'm not sure what and my skin has got even more oiler than it was. The rash isn't itchy but its it's round my cheek area. It's really knocking my confidence! I've a works formal ball to attend next Saturday and I'm not sure how I'm going to cover it! Is this normal for this medication? And anyone who's suffered it how long does it take to go away? I'm at my wits end! Please advise and help!!
Thank you to anyone who replies x

I got exactly same problem with this medication, and after checking possible side effects, I decided to quit it on the spot. I think it's something about the liver or general toxins. Are you a smoker? Cuz I am, so I was thinking maybe it's from the lungs out on the chest. Sadly my doctor is a looser so he didn't have any opinion or solution, but just told me to quit all the medications I was using without any investigation on what or how and why.
