"i&#039;m 15 years old and have had horrible acne on my face, body, and chest since 6th grade. it&#039;s been tearing down my self esteem to the point of not wanting to go outside, i even stopped swimming one summer. so about 2 weeks ago, i went to my dermatologist and he prescribed me 150mg of acticlate (doxycycline) and i&#039;ve been taking it every night along with using sulfacleanse and atralin. so far, i&#039;ve seen no improvement in my acne whatsoever. my chest acne has gotten worse, and my face and back have stayed the same. i see my dermatologist next week and if no improvement is seen before then, i&#039;m hoping there&#039;s another option."
