"i have mild acne around my chin, some bumps on my forehead, and black heads (which caused in large poors) on my nose down to my cheeks. a year ago i&#039;ve have 3 flare up of inflamed cystic acne that would last for months until a dr had to inject steroids into it. my doctor put me on doxycycline 50mg 2x a day, as well as epido topical gel ointment. no complaints on the doxy but as for epido, the third day i used it it made my face extremely sensitive and dry to the point it stings when i put moisturizer on. i&#039;ve stopped it until stinging settles down, then i&#039;m going to apply every other day instead of every day."
