I started Lymecycline 408mg weeks ago and it worked most immediately (like 2-3 days from first tablet) by helping my inflamed acnes to calm a lot down, it didnt clear my skin but certainly a lot less new cyst/acne and calm the active ones significantly.
That was 4 weeks ago. However, in the last 1 week, Ive been having 1-2 new active cysts, and today another new one is emergingwhich is very strange because the lymecycline has managed to keep my face clear of new acne until now.
Is this normal? Is it because Ive develop antibacterial resistance? How can I tell if it is?
Not really sure what to do. Really stressed out.
Antibiotics are infamous for not working well, or only working very short term. I am biased because my docs put me on antibiotics and I had your same experience. They were a horrible treatment for me and it seemed like they literally did nothing.
Also, antibiotics can hurt your body, create resistant bacteria, and should only be used for a max of 3 months, so even when they do work, they're not a long term good option.
In short, you need to be your own advocate here and look for options that will work long-term that are safe. Take the quiz for my advice, and compare other treatments as well.
