minocycline is an oral antibiotic. does it work for everyone and every case of acne? no it does not. is it effective for some cases? yes you bet. the only way you will know the effectiveness of this drug for you is to take it. if your acne is hormonal (large cystic especially on your cheeks) it probably won't help. after years of failed antibiotic treatments i finally researched on my own and discovered a study indicating that spironolactone helps hormonal acne. and it did! my dermatologist has even prescribed it to multiple other patients since i brought it to her attention. my skin has never been better. face peels and pdt treatments also help clear your skin and get rid of discolorations and scars good luck!
my dermatologist prescribed me minocycline for my acne. before i take the medicine i wanted to know if it really works.
