So I have suffered with cystic Acne for years now and used to be on the pill and use Duac cream , as much as it helped spots I had I just kept on getting more and then my skin became used to the Duac cream which seemed to stop working.
I decided to the visit my doctor doctor which she put me on a 8 week course of lymecycline (1 tablet per day)
I have seen little to no change in my skin , its been really quite painful .. however I have kept at it in hope it would take the full 8 weeks to work. Im now on week 7 day 2 and my skin is just as bad as ever !
Doctors appointment is booked ready for when the course is complete !
My question is can this be taken on a higher does like twice a day ? As I think this may help me,as twice I have forgot to take them and took them morning then night the next day and seen improvement in my skin ?
or will the doctors try something diffrent ? Im just sick of it and constantly icing my face as its so sore and hoping 2018 will be a good year for my skin
or has anyone else had the same problem ?
Thanks in advance
Thank you , if she dosnt mention it i will !
Ive been taking a photo every other day to see my journey on lymecycline , was hoping to see improvement but from the photos it can be seen to have not got any better but at times worse !
Going to put all images into video and show the doctor the process
tbh the cysts have nearly all cleared up however instead Ive got loads of spots ! : ( also got them growing in places I dont usually have on my lip line , side burns and temple !
In so much pain ! Counting down the days till my next appointment !

Doxy seems to work quite well. I used mino myself for some time, and it worked- kept it at bay. It does not cure anything, but buys time.

Used Lymecycline for a month (no results) and the dermatologist decided to move to Isotretionin. The plan is to take that for 7 months and hopefully it will be all gone

Be aware, with your acne, your hair could be gone as well- completely. Many posters here are shedding hair even 1 year+ post tane.

Many people were assured by doctors this will not happen, or at worst it's temporary... but this is not the case. Now doctors simply shrug and say they can't help them.
Risk of these side effects, like this one, esp long term, should be openly presented to people so they can decide.
After all, we don't know how accutane works, doctors don't fully know... so caution is advised.
