i really have no way of blindly treating your acne over the internet. there are several types of acne and i also cannot determine the severity based solely on the information in your posting. it can take several weeks -- not one week -- to see results from oral doxycycline so your doctor may need to extend your prescription beyond the ten days. this will not help certain types of acne so again i have no way of knowing if this is an appropriate approach. there are dozens of different acne medications available by prescription. seeing a dermatologist should be considered if you are not improving on your doctor's current regime.
bad acne problem. recently within the past month i started breaking out. i quit smoking and notice it got worse. i had stopped working out but started again. break outs are on my cheeks and left and right side of my forehead. i went to the doctor and they prescribed me doxycycline which doesn't seem to be working. i've been on it for a week. i'm taking 100mg 2 tablets a day. my doctor gave me a 10 day prescription. also using proactive plus and that doesn't even seem to be helping. i really some help!
