Lansonodeon 0 Share Posted July 14, 2003 My doctor prescribed me metrogel and doxycycline and told me to use cetaphil as a cleanser. I've been on this stuff for awhile.. done with the pills.. still using cetaphil and metrogel and my face is definately improved with a few remaining spots.. But my question is.. metrogel is only for rosscea or however you spell it.. why did he prescribe this to me when I have acne. Oh.. this probably isn't significant.. but I noticed my face started to clear up using this regiment by not only putting the metrogel on my face.. but literally.. putting like a glob on areas that seemed irritated.
