"i&#039;m 23 and i never had acne in high school until i stopped taking my birth control due to health conditions. i started back on it and acne came on with a vengeance. no matter what i did if i was on or off bc the acne never stopped flaring up. some days were good and my face &amp; back clear but i was tired of battling not looking in the mirror and being happy. i tried minocycline. i&#039;m not going to say it didn&#039;t work because it helped. acne still horrible. first month, some dryness, second month more dry, nosebleeds and cystic acne popped up. i&#039;m finishing my 3rd month and more of my friends say my face is looking amazing. can&#039;t wait to finish treatment. patience is key for this medication for sure!!"
