"my doctor prescribed me doxy yesterday. i was prescribed it because no topical a were working on my moderate acne. no matter what i did the acne kept coming back! these past two months have been the worst of my acne, and i finally decided to get an oral antibiotic. it was this or accutane, and i wasn&#039;t about to go down that crazy accutane path. so i got this and heard some great stuff about it! lots of people saying there skin cleared up in about a month and that they saw results in the first week. some people say that they got an initial breakout from it... that&#039;s not true. this is an antibiotic to treat pneumonia, maleria, acne etc. if it caused a ib than everyone would breakout on it. i&#039;m hoping i&#039;m right! wish me luck :)"
