I was really worried that after stopping the doxycycline everything would just come creeping back. . . but it hasn't! I guess it's only been a couple of weeks, but still. This feels promising.Â&...

Updates: I've just wrapped up my course of antibiotics (Doxycycline, 100 mg, 2x daily, 2.5 months). The doxycycline definitely brought me some much needed relief. I haven't had a cyst in over a month....

Updating, mostly because I feel like the first photo I posted doesn't really capture the extent/severity. Coming up on 2 months of Spironolactone now. The initial progress that I thought I was making ...

Even since last Thursday, things appear to have improved a little (*knocks on wood*). I quit using my Retina-A gel because all the dead skin sloughing off my face induced probably way too much scrubbi...
