"i am a 18 year old male, and i have been suffering from teen acne for about a year. the breakouts started out calmly, but then they took a more severe turn. i had fields of bumpy pimples on my cheeks, forehead and chin. i tried otc products and they helped to a certain degree, but nothing really made the acne problem disappear. i went to my doctor, and she prescribed me with doxycycline. at first, the only thing i noticed was that my skin got a lot smoother. the bumps disappeared, but i still got breakouts. after about 3 weeks the breakouts were not as bad as they had been before. now i&#039;ve been on doxycycline for 5 weeks, and my acne has almost completely disappeared. now i am only left with hyperpigmentation. very happy with this medicine!"
