"my dermatologist put me on doryx a couple months back. my acne was bad, inflamed and painful all over my cheeks. i took half the pill once a day and at first it made my skin dry out. but my acne disappeared within a week and a half. afterwards i stopped using it. then noticed my skin breaking out again. so i&#039;m back on it again and it has settled my skin. i quit eating dairy as well while taking it and i have yet to have a breakout. i now take it every other day as it dries out the skin all over my body. but totally worth the results !!"
