"i&#039;ve taken minocycline here and there in the past year and i usually would take it for a few days and it would clear my skin up for a little bit, but a few days later it would get bad again and i would repeat this process over and over. but now i&#039;ve been taking it twice a day for the past 3 months and my skin has gotten worse, i haven&#039;t had clear skin in 3 months. i always have a pimple and recently while taking this medication, somehow i got 5 cystic pimples within a day. also, i wash my face twice a day and drink a lot of water, so that isn&#039;t the problem. don&#039;t take this medication, it sucks."
