I need help I've been using doxy for about 3 and a half to 4 weeks now and only the last week and a half my face started to really breakout heaps on both sides of my cheeks and chin... I am taking 200mg a day and I don't know what to do...I'm losing hope.
How long will this last for ? Should I stop the medication or continue .. it's making me really depressed seeing my face this way. They are cyst forming pimples from the inside .. like they are being pushed through continuously and they aren't stopping. Please if anyone has done this before and knows when this purge period ends or if I Should stop taking it please let me know !
Hi,
how have things been been this week, any better?
Im on lymecycline, just started 2 weeks ago and I'm having a breakout too. I used it for 3 months at the beginning of the year and don't remember it causing a breakout like this 🙁 So I don't know why it's doing it this time.
hope things improve soon for us both
I'm breaking out again this week ... it calmed down for a week then another breakout ! Maybe because I'm close to that time of month ? I don't know !
Its not hurtful cyst pimples thought there little pimples that form whiteheads after a couple of days but if I don't squeeze them they don't go away
its my 5th week
what should I do ? Doc said he'll put me on minocyline if there isn't any results with Doxy after 2 month mark.
Any change for you?
Ahh sorry to hear that. It's pretty similar for me.
I had had a really good week last week, skin very clear but I'm starting to break out a bit again now.
Im hoping it's just a blip, I've only been on it for about 4 weeks now. I know at the beginning of the year, my skin was perfect on it but it may have taken a few weeks to show it's full effect.
Maybe it's going to take until the 8 week mark to show its full effects. It's just so hard to deal with in the meantime. Keep me posted, fingers crossed we are on the verge of improvement.
