"so i recently developed cystic acne, presumably because of my change in make-up foundation. this has never happened and it looks really bad, because it&#039;s mostly on my cheeks and the sides of my mouth, it&#039;s hideous. i went to my gp and got doxy (50mg) and an epiduo gel. the gel was burning my skin and it also made my face very dry and super sensitive, so i stopped it. i&#039;m still on the doxy and i&#039;m eating it twice a day, for almost a week now... my skin is still super dry and it looks so bad... my acne has toned down, however.. stopped with the redness and also lesser &quot;active&quot; acne. the only problem now is that my skin is very dry and it&#039;s very sensitive (even when i put on moisturiser it hurts)"
