Ok I am a 16 year old guy and my acne has become pretty bad this year. I'd say it is moderate acne and I think I have a few cystic pimples.
I used to take Benzoyl Peroxide and now for 4 months about I have been taking 100mg of Doxycycline in the morning and use Clindoxcyl/BP at night. Acne fluctuates... some weeks my skin is alright, other weeks it is inflamed and ugly.
I have noticed my forehead and nose and cheek area have become quite oily on the antibiotic lately... Forehead acne has started which is odd because forehead area used to be fine. Anyway, should I ask the doctor if i can maybe take 100mg twice a day? maybe a zinc supplement? My diet is a keto diet 80-90% of the time.. personal choice.
Thank you
Sorry not sure if my other post went though...
I am 16 y/o.
Acne has gotten bad this year - moderate acne
Used BP prior. Dermatologist gave me 100mg Doxycycline with Clidoxcyl/BP cream. On antibiotic for about 4 months.
Seems I have gotten a few cystic pimples.
Forehead and cheek/nose area have become oily on antibiotic.
Forehead more prone to acne than before.
Cheeks have calmed down but I have to shave for school so....
Should I ask doc for 100,g twice a day.. he said if this 6 month course didn't get rid of acne he could put me on low dose accutane.
