"i have been experiencing cystic acne for about 3 months now. my doctor had put on adaphlene cream and doxy antibiotic pills the first 2 months which basically purge out all sorts of acne. i was aware that it takes roughly 12 weeks to see results but i was just getting worse. my doctor ended up referring me to a dermatologist who told me to continue with the adaphlene cream 0.1% at night. he took me off of the doxy antibiotic and prescribe me the minocycline 50mg 2 times a day and aczone gel 7.5 once day as well as wash my face with benozoyl peroxide wash. the acne is almost gone after only being on the new medications 2 weeks. all i have left now is the horrible hyperpigmentation from the acne and it seems to be fading gradually too."
