Same as you @scorpy I plan to taper down to 20 mg and then quit in a few months to see how my skin does. Can always jump back on to calm down flareups.

Posted by: @Fxckfolly Posted by: @GrumpyPainter it seems to be the winning combo, i spoke to my gp and tried to get low dose doxy but they refused and only offered a normal 1 week dose of somet...

Just wanna say that I am still 100% free from pustules using low dose doxy (20mg twice daily) and Soolantra cream. All the redness gone from my skin as well, just healthy looking normal skin tone. No...

Posted by: @Husky124 I also think that we may be having different conditions that result in similar pustules, be it rosacea, GNF, staph folliculitis or perioral dermatitis. I've personaly been diagno...

Posted by: @scorpy I recently started taking a probiotic (megaspore) and it seems to be helping a lot. In the last week, I've only had a few tiny pustules... We'll see if it keeps up, or if this is j...

Hi again all! I went through a bad flare up again, not sure why my skin freaked out these last months but BP, Finacea, disinfecting nostrils, etc., stopped working. Nothing helped. I think @Eevs was r...

Yeah it does sting a little bit but only for a couple minutes. I'm also worried that BP is causing serious skin flora imbalances (what happens to skin flora when you kill all bacteria including benefi...

Update: I stopped using BP on my face as I suspect it is actually causing the bigger bumps/breakouts on my jawline, maybe it is just too irritating to my skin and/or destroying skin barrier. I s...
